Help! Deoderant is staining clothes

Hi Ladies!  I have never posted on this board, but figured someone may know the answer to my question.  I am wearing a cobalt blue cotton shirt for the first time today.  Well I just noticed that my deoderant has changed the color of the shirt under my arms to a yellow/lime green color!  It almost looks as though the shirt is bleached??  Can I fix this or is the shirt a complete loss?  TIA!

Re: Help! Deoderant is staining clothes

  • Strange that it would happen that quickly.  I think it's actually the antiperspirant that discolors.  When you take your shirt off, before it goes in the dirty clothes, rinse the area with cold water.  I'm not sure if it's too late, but I read that can prevent stains (DH always has yellow stains on his shirts).  GL, hopefully it comes out.
  • *sometimes* you can get it out by soaking it in vinegar, and then washing in cold water.  it's very weird that that happened so fast for you though, usually deodorant stains happen over a longer period of time.  You can help prevent stains like that by using a deodorant that doesn't contain aluminum(I like Tom's of Maine), and hanging your shirts to dry instead of using a dryer.  GL!

    Yay! Finally able to update my signature :)
