Baking soda and peroxide, OR Oxygen Bleach (Oxiclean) should be just fine for this. Just soak the affected areas for 15m on a solution of whichever, and you should see it cleaner.
If it's been permeated from caking agent like deodorant, you may need to boil it. Look into "Laundry Stripping" as well.
Thanks I'll give laundry stripping a look. It is from aluminum based deodorants, which I recently switched away from so I'm trying to bring some of my shirts back to life since it hopefully won't be such a problem anymore
Take a small cooler. Fill it with very hot water. Add one cup powder oxi clean and one cup powder detergent. Must be powder. Fully submerge shirt(s) and let sit 24 hours.
Next day take out clothes wring out extra water and put in washing machine. In the bottom of the machine or in detergent dispenser put powder detergent. On top of clothes and not touching detergent put 1/4 cup ammonia.
Wash and rinse. Good as new.
Thank you I'll look into blueing liquid if the vinegar and baking soda don't work. And I did recently switch to aluminum free deodorant so hoping that will be the end of the yellow pits
Can't vouch for any of the methods here, but I have heard the baking soda trick before. Hope this is of help: How to get rid of deodorant stains
Thanks this is perfect I'll give some of these a try
Set on fire and dance around. Good as new!
You could use spray deodorant.
