Deodorant stains on clothes

[kellster]

Does anyone know a good way of removing white deodorant stains from dark clothes?! I've tried most things..... from special stain removers, vinegar, bicarbonate of soda, (plus I've tried the new Sure deodorant), but no luck! Thanks. Kel

My wife is always complaining about these on my shirts - she has found that neat Ace bleach (Hydrogen Peroxide based bleach) gets it off nine times out of ten and surgical spirit (if the material will handle it) will work the other time.

Thanks very much - I tried Ace a while back but maybe I'll give another shot, and i'll def try surgical spirit.

SURE now produce a deodorant called "Crystal" which they claim does not leave any white stains. They were giving out free samples in my local supermarket this week but so far I've not tested it.

Absolutely no different to all the other deos on the market, that Sure stuff :( lol

I bought some stuff from Boots called "trust" its a little pot of paste you only need to use once a week. (just as well, its 8 quid a pot - looks like it will last six months or longer thouigh) Did it because i have sensitive skin and deoderants were causing problems, bu the bonus seems to be no white marks either nb its a deoderant, not an anti perspirant

It took me two weeks to solve this problem. Give up soap, then give up deodorant - voila, no more stains.

baby wipes. or try using a crystal deoderant instead.
