Hi all,

My son's favourate white T-shirt is about to be thrown due to perspiration stains. Have tried Vanish etc but no good. Any ideas, eg soaking in vinegar??

    Have you tried biological washign powder instead of non-bio? If you can then stuff it in the sink with hotwater and a dash of bio powder in there and then leave it for a bit - when you remember to take it out then throw it in the washing machine with other whites and use biological washing powder for the whole wash :)

    Good luck

    I've done the vinegar trick on an old white t-shirt that yellowed.
    Then hung it outside to bleach and it took quite a lot out.
