Use spray and wash or shout directly on the shirt arm pits. If you can . bleach the entire shirt.
Reply:She needs a different deodorant.Wash ASAP. Pre spot with Tide.Maybe she should wear shields under her blouses.
Reply:Tell her to take a DAILY HOT shower. This will help your body adjust to heat throughout the day versus taking a cold shower on a hot day. Also, mens deodarant works well for heavy sweaters. And for the clothes clorox will only yellow them put 2 to 3 cups of vinegar in each washing cycle. If that doesnt work in itsself mixing baking soda and water and make a paste rub it on the stains let it sit for 5-10 before you wash then add the vinegar to the wash. This does the trick for my laundry every time. Good luck.
Reply:Baby Aspirin crushed up to a paste, mixed with some water, soak just the dis-colored area overnight then wash as normal.
Reply:Can't help much with the laundry--once those stains are there, they are pretty much stuck. Maybe try bleach.





I use a product called Certain Dry. You can get it at Rite Aid, Target, probably other places. It's about $6.00 but well worth it. If that doesn't work, your wife might want to see her doctor--sometimes people have underlying conditions that cause the sweating mechanisms to go haywire.
Reply:Well this is the best way I know %26amp; one that works. First soak your whites in cold water, Use the old fashioned soap bar soap. you know the kind used for washing clothes, you can buy this in your hardware store. Remove from the water %26amp; rub the soap in , leaving the soap on and free from water, leave like this for 1/2 hr or so . Then back to the water give a little rub, remove from water add more soap. This time leaving the soap on pop into the machine on a normal wash, the colder the Temp the better, the more heat you add to a stain the harder it is to remove. Now hang outside in the sun , the sun will do the rest of the work , by bleaching the any remaining stain out . The natural way,
Reply:I agree with the poster who recommended Certain-Dri - it's the strongest non-prescription product out there. The only drawback to this stuff is the need to apply it the night before. Therefore, if your wife perspires heavily at night or prefers to shower in the morning, this product may not be viable.





There are two more products that are used for this kind of hyperhydrosis. One is botox. Yes, botox. Botox is injected directly into the nerves under the arms and works wonders for six months or so. This has to be delivered by a dermatologist, and may not be covered by insurance. The other product is a prescription anti-perspirant called Drysol. Drysol works very well, and can be applied in the morning, but it feels kinda thick and sticky, in my opinion.





So, no product is perfect, but these are the primary three for prevention of excessive perspiration. It would also help to keep a spare tube of clear antiperspirant in the purse or in the desk drawer for application as needed.





Now, removing the stains from shirts and bras... not easy.


1. Wash the affected whites separately (shirts, bras, camis - put them all together). If possible, pretreat the "spots" every time with oxi-clean (or equivalent) dissolved in HOT water. Wash the treated whites in warm water, with your regular detergent.


2. About once a month, bleach the whites. 1 cup of bleach per full washload (any more will damage the clothes).


3. If the aforementioned steps do not work, the stains are pretty much entrenched. There's only so much you can do about this.





Wearing an undershirt will not work. It will always cause the perspiration to be worse. I feel your pain - I have the same problem!!! Good luck!
Reply:Deodorant and Perspiration Stain Removal


Yellow underarm shirt stains are likely caused by a combination of deodorant and perspiration. Many deodorants and antiperspirants contain aluminum salts. When these salts are combined with laundry detergent, especially in cooler water settings, they are not easily dissolved, and they remain on the fabric.





To remove the stains, try soaking the shirts in warm water with an enzyme pre-soak product or rubbing the soiled area with white vinegar. Wash in the hottest water safe for the fabric. If the stain remains, dampen and sprinkle stain with meat tenderizer. Let stand for about an hour, and launder again.





To avoid new stains from forming, always wash the shirts in the hottest water safe for the fabric. Also, allow antiperspirant to dry completely before dressing. Hope this helps...:)

Reply:A couple of suggestions. Before she wears a garment for the first time, lather up some Fels Naptha soap in the armpits. This helps the stains from forming in the first place. Some people swear that ammonia removes perspriation stains if you sponge it on and let it sit. It hasn't worked on garments I've done it on, but you can try it. What does work is to use Zout and Fels Naptha soap once the stain is there and soak the garment in your regular detergent along with Biz Activated non-chlorine bleach for several hours. If you have a top loader, check the garment now and again to see if the stain is still there and re-treat with the pre-spotters. Contrary to popular opinion, some people's body chemistry or the medications they take cause a chemical reaction between the anti-perspirant and sweat to cause the stain. There are also perspiration pads (sold in the lingerie department of stores) that attach to the bra to absorb perspiration. We used to wear them when I was modeling to protect the garment. At first they are a bit uncomfortable, but you kinda get used to them after a while.
