    I find that white marks left by deodorant on my clothes are where the deo has bleached the colour out ,rather than staining them :(

    I have those on my black bras no matter how much I wash them even tho I apply deo and then wait ages b4 putting my bra on. I have even taken to hand washing them and attacking them with a stiff scrubbing brush but to no avail..

  • Vanish pre-wash trigger spray from Wilkinsons worked for me (after a few washes). :cool:

    Hi everyone!

    My boyfriend has recently asked me if I can get the deodorant stains out of his favourite navy t-shirt.....any tips?

    Thanks

    It's not very old-style but I swear by Vanish Oxi-Action for stuff like that. You can soak it before washing and seems to work everytime!

    If it's a sort of build up, unfortunately the only thing I've found that works is scraping it off the fabric. Soak it first (in vinegar perhaps) and use the back of a knife.

    Thanks! I happen to have some Vanish at the moment - trying it for free through Bzz Agent so I will give that a go. Might combine it with scraping as well!

    I am sure I read somewhere that soaking in a solution of soluble aspirin works.

    Bane of my life, I use a roll on deodorant and find that doesn't do it in the first place , but my DD's use spray.

    I use vanish spray on the underarms and collars, seems to do the job. Not perfect but passable.

    A bit of googling:

    I am going to try baking soda tonight as vanish failed me!
