I have had a problem with yellow stains beneath the armpits on t-shirts,
etc. I have assumed that they were from using stick deodorant.
How can this be prevented? Is there any way to get rid of these stains on
clothing?
Thanks.
John
I don't know about preventing it, but here is a site that has a "stain
removal wizard" that covers about everything - first item is antiperspirant.

If the shirts are white, there is a product called "Yellow Out"
similar to "Iron Out", that I've had good luck with.
As far as prevention, I don't know of anything.... I just have my
hubby wear colored shirts.

Hi John,
Try some dilute ammonia and hydrogen peroxide.
Hope this helps

Well, John, I have an idea for preventing it, but I doubt
that you will find it appealing.
When I was in the Army I would get the big yellow stains
on my shirts, too. What I did was buy the thinnest panty
liners that I could get and use them in the armpits of
my shirts. The sweat, etc., wouldn't make it to the shirt.
Now, unless you're in an accident and taken to the hospital,
no one should ever know you're wearing panty liners in your
shirt! But you'll have to find someone to buy them for you.

I don't know about removing it, as I never had good luck with that. You
should probably change deodorants. I now use Mitchum stick deodorant and
have never had the problem since.

It's the deodorant. Change to some other brand.

Probably less a matter of brand so much as slathering on too much
of it, so it deposits on the shirt.
