How do you keep your white shirts from turning yellow under the arms?
Question:Everytime after I wear a white shirt it turns yellow under the arms. I take a shower every day and use deodorant and let the deodorant dry before I put my shirt on. When I go to wash it, I have to wash it at least 3 times to get the yellow to fade!
Help!!
Answers:
I stopped using the combination anti-perspirant/
deodorant and it worked. Just buy the "deodorant."
Now for the shirts already stained. As stated
before, bleach should work. If not, try hydrogen
peroxide on it. Good luck !
Too much deodorat and do you work long days like 12 plus hours that will do it.
Take an extra shirt to work
Only way
Bleach.
wash it right after you wear it or iif u cant wash it then put detergent or a bleach product like tide bleach pen on the spot and let it sit till you can wash it.
I've tried all kinds of "remedies" and none of them work. It has to do with something in the deodorant that causes the yellowing. So, outside of not wearing deodorant, there isn't anything you can do. :-(
Recently on the Oprah show I think Dr. Oz mentioned something about a thyroid problem relative to this.
I know for a fact that bleach does NOT work at all on that specific type of stain...I've tried it.
The only other thing I would suggest is trying that oxy clean stuff or shout spray...I have yet to try either of those, so I'm not too certain if they work.
The stain is actually from when you sweat and your armpits rub against your shirt, the deoderant gets on you and the combination of the sweat and deoderant actually cause the stain. Like someone mentioned above, find deoderant WITHOUT the anti-perspirant and it should prevent any future stains...
