Stains
7/11/2021 at 7:20 PM

Hey everyone! Happy Sunday! I have some whites, light colours and dark colours that have underarm stains. I tried spray and wash, oxy clean and I find nothing is working. Any tips on what to use to get rid of the color. The smell comes out but not the stain color. Any ideas would be great!

Peroxide

I think peroxide removes protein based stains like this, worth a shot! I know it works on blood very well

got the stain out on a pair of pants by hanging in sun, there's no shortage of sun these days! Worth a shot?

Google the recipe for laundry stripping. I've heard it is supposed to help with that.

Coca cola

Pour a can of regular Coca Cola or two in the washing machine with the clothes. It has phosphoric acid and cleans anything. An old oilfield trick. Even throw in some baking soda or borax. Look good as new, good luck.

Change your deodorant. You can treat the stains all you want but they won't go away until you switch to either an 'invisible' or spray deodorant. You can treat them with Spray n Wash if you feel the need but the stains should fade off after a few washes as long as you stop staining them.

Thank you everyone for the suggestions. I will be trying them and hope it works. I am already using a clear deodorant for awhile. Hopefully they come out. Have a great Monday everyone

It says "invisible" clear deodorants will still stain as the staining is due to the chemicals, not the color in the deodorant.
