    What I was told to do was to turn the shirts inside out and then spray a water and white vinegar mix onto the underarm before washing. Has worked for me in the past.

    And change your deodorant to Pitrok. Available on Boots, lasts forever, and no more deodorant stains. It doesnt contain aluminium, which causes the stains. IIRC

    And try Oxyaction spray on the stain. I soaked my shirts in Oxyaction powder to get rid of the yellow deodorant stains, changed to Pitrock, and never looked back.

    Get citric acid (you can get it in Mr Price) mix one box with 5 litres of water, soak the garment in the solution for 24-48 hours, once or twice agitate the stain lightly with a soft brush- you will find that the white stain softens and eventually is soft enough to was out.

    Make sure you soak it long enough,once I didn't leave it long enough and the white stain just spread around the t-shirt in the wash and I had to repeat the process.

    This is the stuff you need http://www.mrprice.ie/p/dripak-citric-acid-250g/5011289001935

    This.

    There's no need to be rubbing aluminium on yourself!
