How to remove underarm sweat stains?

Quick question - does anyone know how to remove under arm sweat stains from shirts? Not sure if it's from the sweat or from the underarm deodorants hubby wears but, either way, it's becoming a problem!

Thanks.

    No but if he's anything like me spray will do nothing. Get him using a stick or roll on.

    Sure sensetive stick is what I use.

    A bicarb paste on the underarms then wash with a vinegar rinse instead of fabric conditioner may help.

    To get rid of the hard deodorant residue that collects in the pits I use a mix of white vinegar and citric acid.

    Wet the area first, rub in some neat biological liquid and then add the vinegar / citric acid paste and leave it to get to work for a couple of hours. I really heap the mix on and rest it in the sink so that the mix is resting on the stain.

    Then place the items straight in the washing machine with the gunk still attached.

    I get my citric acid in bulk from Amazon as it is cheaper than from the supermarket.
