Reply:have the same prob with my man he seems to think chucking them in the bin and buying a new one works
Reply:have you tried the good remedy of just Spray %26amp; Wash on them? My husb gets every thing on his shirt fronts grease, oil, fishing stuff you name it....before washing in warm water I just spray real heavy with the Spray %26amp; Wash and be sure to let it soak in, then use Gain (or thats what I use) and wash away. Gets my deo marks out IF I happened to buy the wrong kind.

Reply:I used to be drycleaner so I%26#039;ll give my 2cents worth (literally...i mean, who likes their drycleaner, I would get so much grief!) It%26#039;s a little bit of chemistry. Water gets water based stains out great. Oil based stains come out great in drycleaning which uses an oily type solution. If you don%26#039;t want to take your garment to a drycleaner (folks, it%26#039;s never a gaurantee that they%26#039;ll get all of your stains out....) try using a grease cutting mild dishwashing soap like dawn or palmalive etc. As long as it says grease cutting or something to that effect. It%26#039;s decent on oil based stains like salad dressing, and such...and I%26#039;ve found it to work alright on deodorant stains too. BUT this is for the deodorant only! Remember you%26#039;re dealing with 2 part stain- deodorant and perspiration. You may need to deal with that next. Use an ammonium based cleaner for that, like windex.


If that doesn%26#039;t work, then sorry. Heat and time is your most important enemy in any stains setting permanently. It chemically changes the make up of the material. Over 100 degrees (which is not much ) and 48 hours are good rules of thumb to avoid. Deal with that stain within those parameters and you%26#039;ll be better off.





Drycleaning spotting 101 complements of New York textile school I went to.


For home cleaning your clothes, use a mild acid with a mild detergent (like 1 part vinegar 2 parts mild soap) for tannin stains(anything that grew from the ground-sugar, coffee, grass etc... respond well to an acid spotter and mild scrub)





Use 1part ammonia 2 parts mild soap for protein based stains like milk, ice cream, blood, feces, etc. (anything that comes from an animal).





Some stains are a combination- treat tannin first then protein. Never subject the garment to the heat of the dryer until you%26#039;ve given up, because then it%26#039;s pretty permanent. And the final cardinal rule, test your spot solutions in an inconspicuous placeon your garment if you%26#039;re not sure how it will respond ie. color changes. I hope this was worth your whie.

Reply:Good old fashioned soap. (NATURAL SOAP). Soak your stained clothes in cold water, remove and rub the soap on to the stains. Leave the clothes free from water with soap on,say 1/2 hr should be enough. Back to the cold water , give a rub,add more soap, this time leave the soap on%26amp; pop your clothes on a 40ºc normal wash. Once doe , hang outside in the sun. The sun will bleach out any remaining stains the natural way. It might take a few turns doing this, but the stains will come out
Reply:Put some white vinegar on the stain and wash it with warm water - let it dry for an hour - then put it in the washing machine with other dirty laundry and wash normally. Peace
Reply:i suggest a no white marks deodorant. - sure... dove


not sure what to do about already stained tops.





what i do is turn up the bottom of the top so if you do get deodorant marks then it is on the inside.

Reply:why dont you change your deodorant to one of the newer ones that dont stain your clothes?


the dove one is great as i use that and even if it gets on your clothes it does go away.
