Stardrops Disaster - Anti-perspirant marks now much worse

After reading on here how amazing Stardrops is at removing stains I though I'd have a go. I had 2 pink & 1 purple t-shirt that had white anti-perspirant marks on them that ordinary washing had failed to remove. So I gave each a. quick rub with neat Stardros for a few minutes, then threw them in the washing machine with other clothes & slightly less of my usual biological washing powder.
The purple t-shirt looks much better & is now wearable again.
The pink t-shirts now have brown marks instead of white :rotfl: One is cotton & the other may be a mix as it's quite stretchy (I cut the label off)
Any ideas as to what went wrong?
Is it worth trying to dye them a darker shade of pink or will the brown mark just be dyed a different colour?
