Sweat Patches and 'Crusting' On T-Shirts

therokerroar

Hi all,

Apologies if this is in the wrong forum, but I need some advice.

I have two black t-shirts which I absolutely love, but unfortunately due to wearing them quite often, they have developed white 'crusty' patches under the armpits, along with becoming quite sweaty in the same place.

Is there a way to remove the above, as I really love these t-shirts and don't want to part with them yet

Thanks

hand wash in a mild detergent

Put white vinegar on it and wash as normal

If nothing works try to buy the t-shirts again on Ebay. Might take a bit of time to find them!

and try some baking soda with the vinegar as well. doesn't work so well on polyester (i've had similar problems with vintage dresses)

Soak them with the vinegar and leave for an hour before washing, it might take two or three goes.

It seems to be a problem with some brands of deodourant, once my friend switched brands the reaction didn't happen again.

Thanks for the advice, I'm going to purchase some white vinegar and give it a go over the weekend.

Wish me luck

Which brands cause this as it has happen me with two tops last year. Both were bought in the same shop so I put it down to quality (or lack of!) but it could have been the deodourant I used at the time. Some times I buy them in health shops other in chemists but I never stick to the same brand!

I generally use Lynx, so it could well be that.
