omg! I looked for pantyhose to remove the stains but couldn't find any so I just used some black knee socks. It takes out the white deodorant stain completely, by just rubbing it!
After many times of trying I have just removed white stains from a brown linen top, and I used Fairy washing up Liquid. Massaging into the stain from the back of the material, and it has all gone. Hope it works for you.
Darn if the pantyhose didn't work like a charm! Take the tops of your pantyhose and rub on the deodorant stain and it goes away instantly. Works even after you have washed it! Thanks so much
The pantyhose tip sounds similar to mine. I've heard that you can just rub the white marks with a different section of the same piece of clothing (grab a section of the shirt in each hand and rub them together). It's worked every time I've tried it.
By the way, I lived in Prescott for a year while my then-new husband finished his degree at Embry-Riddle. I loved it there and I miss it! Can't wait to go back sometime!

Request: How do you remove deodorant stains from dark shirts
Archived on 09/13/2005
I have 2 black shirts that I have never been able to remove those white deodorant stains from. I've tried applying stain remover before laundering or hand washing, applying the detergent directly to the stain and have tried to scrub them out. I tried drying them in the machine, air dry, even drying in front of a fan, but everything seems to make it worse, the stains are still as prominent as ever.
They are both 100% cotton shirts with glitter designs on the front, so I would like to know if there is any safe way for me to remove these stains without completely ruining the designs on the front. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Soak in White Vinegar

Try soaking the stains with white vinegar and let them sit for a while before laundering them. I know the vinegar removes underarm odors and the yellow deoderant stains left in white t-shirts, and it removes salt stains on boots, so it might take out the deoderant stains in your black shirts too. Can't hurt to try it.
As soon as you see the white stain, rub it off with pantyhose. It instantly removes deordorant.

Baking Soda

Put baking soda on stains and dampen to make a paste. rub gently, let set and launder. You need to do it a few times. Or use Oxy-clean the same way. I saved many a shirts (husband's black shirts!)
