removing antiperspirant stains from clothes?

Jotun · 24 Dec 2009 at 19:14

I've had this problem too, I use anti perspirant an put it on before putting on a shirt but I still get stains off it.

There's a guy on my couse who thinks it's manly to go without showering. He always stinks and I've noticed one time he had the same shirt on for 4 days. I don't normally pay attention to it but there was a huge pasta stain on it on the monday, still there on thursday :eek:

Once he takes his jacket off I try and put as much distance between us as I can.

I have this problem sometimes. It happens when I apply my roll on and then just stick my shirt on and out the door. I have found the roll on I use needs to be dried before dressing. I do this with the palm of my hand, just spreading the residue around the general armpit area, it has solved the problem. I do not overuse the roll on, just twice over the pit and done.

Happy Christmas to all.

Mustard... you were all expecting it!

on a serious note, you are using too much and use the non marking stuff if you need that much!

How much do you use? I have a half second spray of body spray, each armpit, in the morning, and as far as I know, I don't stink. And I'm 16, so I'm pretty sweaty.

have you tried white vinegar.

lemon juice + salt + rub-a-dub before washing.

Nuke pits from orbit?

anti persprant shouldnt leave stains if you use the right amount.

I find roll on is worst for creating the patches of hardened-deodorant-stain. I've had even regularly-washed tops go all stiff and discoloured under the armpits because of roll-ons.

Never had the effect with sprays or sticks, but they're never quite as effective (esp. as a man, the stick gets worn down too fast by hair).

Allow the roll on to dry for a bit first before putting on T shirts - make sure it goes on first when you've just towelled-down out of the shower, then dress from your lower-half upwards.

Fresh sweat never smells, however a top worn several days in a row will start to hum even if you haven't been very active - but you won't always notice the smell yourself. Take deep breaths in the armpit area of a T shirt before putting it on, if it is even slightly unsavoury, stick it in the wash, as it will only get worse.

Most people can't smell their own BO. You might like to think you're fine, but I can't help but think you're one of those guys who absolutely hum but are totally oblivious to it because nobody's picked up the courage to tell you.

You say you don't smell of BO even when dripping with sweat... yeah right.

Actually i have made sure i dont smell.

And if i did my friends would let me know, just like we let another friend of ours know that he burns our nostrils out
