This might be an embarrassing problem, but I don't care. I'm hoping your wives can answer this question.

I've got a problem with my t-shirts, and every one of them has caked up deodorant in the armpit area. Not only is it unsightly in white t-shirts, but it leaves a hard formation on the inside of the T-shirt, which I assume is caked up deodorant. Of course I wash them, but the deodorant never comes off, just makes a hard formation in the armpit. Pre treating does not work. Bleach does not work, either.

Gotta be something that saves me from going out every month to buy a pack of undershirts.
 
What gets on my t-shirts and won't come out is grease and oil stains. Someone got a fix for it that doesn't invlve not working on tractors?

Do you use the white stick stuff or the gel? I like the gel, the stick used to cake up for me too, though not to the point of needing to replace my shirts.
 
Try a product called Iron Out, it cleans everything, only use is on white stuff, anything else will be white or close to it when you are done.

Your nasty remarks stink Mr. Maybe you have a cleanliness problem & too embarrassed to ask for help or face up to it . This poor guy has humbled himself by asking for some help which is what this board is for .If a nice helpful reply isn't in your life style , then please be quiet . Maybe if the truth were known , you may have an odor problem yourself . If all of us guys would honestly look at our underwear & T shirt we'd find stains also .But then housewives know the secret of reducing the stains so we wouldn't be embarrassed if people knew . When we don't have a woman to care for our needs & depend on them to do the dirty work , then we sometimes ask advice from others . I wish the guy who asked the initial question the best of luck . God bless, Ken
 
My wife indicates that a sea salt based deodorant (looks like a lump of translucent rock, and can be used on all body parts) It is put on while you are wet from the shower, is a good option. Health food stores have it and will know what you are looking for. Performers use it for keeping stains off of costumes. Clear Gel style from Old Spice also leaves no "marks" JimN
 
I do not have this kind of a problem because I use a spray on that you would be too embarrased to take through the check out. Perhaps any spray would be better for you.
 
Use orange GOOP. It works very well on most stains and is very good to clean your hands after you have worked on the tractors.
 
My thoughts are that maybe you are putting to many clothes in the washer at once. If the washer is to full things can't slosh like they need to so then wont come clean. Might try a different luandry soap. I used to use the cheapest thing I found. Had a girlfriend that used Tide works much better even on the greasey clothes. For getting grease out if you take waterless hand cleaner for your hands ,and rub in with either a brush on heavy clothes like pants coveralls. Just rub together for shirts and lighter things they will come out like the grease was never there.
 
I agree with GeneMO. Those white antipers repel sweat(water). Therefore how is the water in the wash cycle going to lift it from the fabric. It just accumilates.
 
Rob, No offense, but I just have to ask. You are putting on your deodorant BEFORE you put on your tee shirt aren't you? ;>) Jf
 
I've been using Mitchum unscented gel for years. Yes, the stick stuff ends up making a mess. I can't stand the smelly stuff, so use the unscented, but that's just my preference. Gel won't leave a deposit. I think there are also sprays, which would also not leave a deposit.
 
Some people sweat a lot more than others. Some people use way too much deodorant. I think you can actually get prescription deodorant. I've seen stains from sweat but not a caked up layer of deodorant. First you said t-shirt, then you said undershirt. Maybe you're dressing too warm which causes you to sweat more? What kind of deodorant do you use? Try a different brand(s). Some may work better for certain people than others. Maybe a bigger size of shirt would help? Dave
 
the stick type deodrants contain aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrex as the anti perspirant, it basically plugs the sweat glands so they cannot perspire. rollon types and gels use aluminum chlorohydrate as the anti perspirant. the stick types will transfer to any clothing over time and build up. they are not water soluable. i had shirts do the same thing, never found a way to remove it. changed brand types and no more problems
 
Doedorants PLUG UP Sweat Pours --- I never used or would use Deordorants -- if I have a problem with smell --- I make sure not to Sweat if possible -- and / or take a bath often or just wash under arms with good soap during the day when possible --- it will then improve
 
Deodorant probably does not cake but ANTI-PERSPERENTS DO. STOP WITH THE ANTI PERSPERANTS AND JUST USE DEODORANT. I quit anti-persperants m,any years ago because they clog your sweat glands and mess up your clothes.
 
read all your posts....all I can say is: what a jacka$$! lighten up. What others may lack in common sense, you lack in tact!

I didn't have the Tshirt problem, but would get pretty ripe even with a daily shower. A lot is what you eat. Deo plugs you up, this stuff (it's only salt crystal) just neutralizes odors. Believe it or not, an ounce or two of apple cider vinegar and plenty of water help (drink this) will ease up on the nasty stuff that comes out. If it's real bad, shave your armpits. Don't worry, football players shave thier legs.

Good Luck,


Dave
