Removing deodorant buildup on shirts?

The combination of deodorant/anti-perspirant and sweat forms a stiff, whitish area on my shirts. Spray %26amp; wash does nothing. Any suggestions?

Removing deodorant buildup on shirts?
This happened to my husbands shirts also. So I tried OxY spray [since I use the bleach ] and wow it worked. But if it is real bad then I would suggest soaking them first to loosen up the stain then spray a lot and wash in warm water. My option cold water does not clean your cloths good enough like warm water does..





Hope this works for you it did for me..
Reply:Try using Oxy clean or this stuff called Lestoil-gets out tough stains like sweat and ring around the collar and it should work for deodorant and sweat stains.
Reply:WASH THEM WITH SOME HEAVY DUTY DETERGENT AND REPEAT
Reply:Have had the same problem, I pretreat with detergent, run the washer under normal agitation, not gentle, using warm water. Then I let the washer set (leaving the lid open will do it) for about 10 minutes to soak the clothes well before allowing the washer to rinse. I also check the shirts before drying, since drying will lock the stain in. Hotter water and strong agitation seems to do the trick, they use hot water in professional laundries.


Switched also to arm and hammer roll on, still strong but doesn't stain as bad as the other deodorants.
Reply:Try Lestoil, it cuts the stains from a lot of different things. You might have to wash the garment twice, treating it both times.

with a liquid detergent and then launder. Pre-treat


heavy stains with a pre-wash stain remover. Allow to


stand 5 to 10 minutes. Launder, using an all-fabric


bleach.


*Another suggestion:





There’s not much help available in removing the dark stains from aluminum chloride after they are already set in your clothing. The best bet is to avoid those products that contain it thereby eliminating the stain itself.


Otherwise, try the vinegar and water, or the salt and water solutions and allow the garment to soak for a couple of hours or overnight. Then scrub the stain with a commercial stain remover product and launder according to instructions
Reply:Simple by using, Baking soda paste applying it to the stain and scrub with an old toothbrush then wash, then add White Vinegar to rinse water and your stains should be gone if not repeat the steps once more. Good Luck !
