I wore a deep purple polo shirt today during my state's continuing
attempt at mimicking some tropical paradise's mugginess and blisteringly
hot days. Imagine my surprise when I noticed spotty discoloration under
the arms where I apply deodorant. Is there a way of removing these
stains and salvaging the shirt? (The shirt is a 50% polyester/50% cotton
blend.) No dyes were transferred to my skin and it has not happened to
any other shirts of similar blend.

Many thanks.

Soak the shirt overnight in a five gallon bucket. Use enough hot
water to just cover the shirt. Use 1/4 cup laundry soap and a cup of
household ammonia. Lauder as usual. OxiClean might work too.

What do you think caused the discoloration?
