Laundry/bleach question
Every white T-shirt I own seems to develop nasty yellow armpit stains within 4 or 5 wears. I've tried regular bleach (Clorox) to get these out, but to no avail. Is there a bleach/cleaner out there that's actually effective with this sort of thing or do I have to just keep buying new undershirts every couple months? Thanks.

Re: Laundry/bleach question
We call it "baloney pits," cuz it looks like you have a slice of baloney stuck to your armpits.
It's from wearing too much stick deoderant. Stop using deoderant under your arms and you won't have that problem. Most people don't need to wear deoderant anyway. |

Re: Laundry/bleach question
Ive never had any problem just using regular bleach
...make sure to use hot water ...add bleach, detergent ...turn on the machine, then let water fill but dont close lid as it will then soak for a while, usually I go back in an hour or so and close lid and let run its cycle ...then rewash with just detergent, as I hate any hint of bleach smell ...and the whole half cup or water crap is hogwash I just dump a crap load in there |

Re: Laundry/bleach question
Use a deodorant with aluminum chloride instead of aluminum tetrachlorohydrex GLY (like Ultra Dri). It stings a bit but works waay better than other antiperspirants, and no more yellow pit cake.
