I have had very good luck with Oxyclean. I soak the shirts in hot water and Oxyclean overnight and then wash in hot water. Check the stain before you put in the dryer, you may have to soak it overnight again to completely remove the stain

I still have not found the answer on how to remove the stain, new or set in. However to prevent the stains on new shirts dry try switching from a deodorant to an anti-perspirant. Deodorants only masks underarm odor, anti-perspirant prevents sweating, thereby preventing those ugly stains. The odor from our arm pits is caused by bacteria so to kill the bacteria, apply white vinegar to your arm pits, let dry then use your anti-perspirant. This solution has helped my son for many years I hope it does the same for you.

My husband also has stains under the arms of his white cotton t shirts. I've been having good luck using Spray N Wash on the stains every time I wash them. I use it every time I wash them, however. Good Luck!

I get white stains on all my shirts (I only wear black ones) and it looks awful... I have to regularly toss shirts (about 4 a year), and at 100USD a shirt, that gets quite expensive with time! Would love some feedback on how to avoid this problem.
Cheers TH

Soak items for 1-2 days with disolved powdered aspirin. (5 tablets per liter of water).

I would be hesitant about soaking cotton in bleach overnight. Chemical reactions increase with time, temp, and concentration. The stain might disappear as does the material - I've done it. On the positive side, the resultant undershirt armpit hole provided more ventilation and hence less sweating. I haven't found a solution but have heard of the asprin trick.

Request: Underarm Stains on White Cotton Shirts
Underarm stains on white shirts: I have tried everything I can think of to remove these stains, bleach, baking soda, meat tendrizer, amonina, vinager and more. Any more ideas? I have about 20 shirts and they are in great condition except for the stains.
Thank you,

You should try Mrs. Stewart's liquid bluing. It's on the laundry isle and it is just for whiting your white laundry. (11/06/2006)

I haven't seen any cures for this problem but I changed to a different deordorant and the problem has been less. I also find the older the shirt the more build up and it is time to toss the shirt. (11/07/2006)

RE: Underarm Stains on White Cotton Shirts
My oldest son has had those stains on the under arm of his t-shirts for quite a while, I tried various bleaching agents, vinegar and baking soda, they did not help. My younger son has just developed the same problem which he did not have prior to turning 21. I now wonder if it could have anything to do with drinking beer wine, etc. I would appreciate any advice on the subject. (12/01/2006)

Request: Underarm Stains on White Cotton Shirts
My husband wears white cotton shirts to work everyday. Lately I have seen dark patches under the arms, even though they are washed regularly. Does anyone have an idea of how to get rid of these patches?

I haven't tried it but I've heard that putting a couple of asprin in the wash whitens it. I've also heard to use shampoo on the stain itself. If all else fails, just use bleach. Hope one helps! (10/17/2006)

Try this. Add one cup of powdered Cascade and Clorox II to five gallons of the hottest water you can draw from your tap. Soak items overnight and launder as usual. (10/18/2006)

My hubby had the same problem. He even tried baking soda as a deodorant. It worked, but did not stop the staining. I got him to switch to the mineral crystal (which is a solid crystal that you dampen before applying). Works like a charm as a deodorant and no stains on new shirts. We did have to throw away the stained ones - nothing would clean the stains. Now, no odor, no stains. BTW, one stick lasts at least a year. (10/18/2006)
