Hi there. I have a lot of short sleeved 'Gabicci' tops which I wear on an
everyday basis. The tops are 52% cotton and 48% polyester. The area under
the arms has become creased and hard which I think is due to a mixture of
sweat and deodorant. These stains are not effected in any way by a normal
wash and I have tried everything including the old vinegar remedy to get
them back to normal. Anyone got any ideas how to deal with this? Many
thanks.

Alex

Change your deodorant. To remove the existing stains use a color-safe
bleach or OxyClean.

I'll give that a try, thanks.

How many ciarettes do you smoke per day?? I have a friend who had the
underarm stain problem which absolutely vanished when he quit smoking.
Of course he is now gnawing holes in the sleeves and candy wrappers.

None. I gave them up 18 months ago.

Hi Deb,

You should try making a paste with Napisan and water and then leave it on
the stain for 15 minutes before washing as normal! Should work with your
sweat problem.

Good luck if you haven't fixed the problem already!

Me again.... the Napisan you need to use for this to work is called "napisan
oxygen" :)
