Pit Stop, Sweat Stain & Deodorant (Antiperspirant) Armpit Stain Remover, Multi-stain formulation, 16oz.

This stuff is amazing! I have three work blouses, all made from the same material, that have armpit stains from the deodorant. This stuff took all of the stains out. Just follow the directions and you'll be good to go. I am so impressed! Buy it - you won't be sorry!

Can’t stand sweaty wet armpits, so tried this an alternative to deal with grey/yellow underarm stains on a variety of white and off white tops. All tops were heavily discolored. The newer tops (4-6 months old) came out like new after repeating TWICE: scrubbing in the product with a bristle laundry brush, waiting 20 minutes, and washing on a normal wash lukewarm water. Scrubbing was key. Tried the process on a few tops that are 2+ years old that were really ready for trash. After 3 rounds of spray, scrub, wait 20 mins, lukewarm normal wash, these were certainly not “like new” (wouldn’t use on “date night”), but totally adequate enough to go back into workwear rotation. Did not fade pinstripes on two white and striped shorts or alter color on a light colored t shirt. Did not work on silk. The good results were on cotton, cotton blend, and linen blend. The bottle recommends using with gloves. I didn’t have any. It didn’t burn to handle without, but caused that dry skin feeling after a lot of exposure within a few hours. Smell is mildly chemically, but only really noticeable if you put fabric right to your face while still damp from wash.

I tried this on the armpits of several t-shirts and shirts of a range of colours and materials. I'd been holding onto these as I really like the clothes and can't find replacements, but I didn't like wearing them out because of the deodorant stains. There didn't seem to be much of a difference between materials, but this product worked better on darker colours than lighter - which I think is because stains show up less on darker colours so the tiny bit of residual stain was hidden. I didn't experience any damage to the clothes or loss of colour.I sprayed the product generously to the inside of the armpits then scrubbed inside affected area roughly with a firm brush. I then sprayed a little more and let the product soak for 20 minutes. I gave the scrubbed the area well again for a few minutes and washed the items in the washing machine.All of the items were improved, but the improvement differed depending on the severity of the stain. I had two low quality white cotton t-shirts with very thick (stiff) deodorant caked into the fabric and yellow and brown stains - these were barely improved. My high quality black cotton t-shirt with minor to moderate damage was 100% fixed. My high quality thick cotton white polo shirt with moderate stains was almost 100% fixed and the colour of the dark blue dot pattern was not affected. My other clothes of moderate caking/staining were all improved and some were near perfect. This doesn't do a lot for removing the yellow/brown colouring to white clothing, but will remove it from dark clothing and will remove the physical deodorant solid from the fabric.I think you can do multiple applications to improve the result and I did notice some improvement on a second application. I would suggest that if you were desperate and had a severely caked white item that you soak well and then scrub hard on both both sides of the affected area repeatedly, leaving a 20 minute gap for the liquid to soak in. Then rinse with water, remove excess water, and repeat the process. Do this again and again until you feel the deodorant material loosen and become removed. Then wash in washing machine. You might need to do this multiple times. Once the deodorant material has gone you can remove the colour from white clothes using a bleaching product as directed by manufacturer (something containing peroxide will work well for this kind of work). But this will take a lot work and may not even work._Summary_If you have mild to moderate deodorant stains on high quality clothes, particularly dark colours, then I can highly recommend this product and you will probably restore your clothing to near 100%. If you have mild to moderate stains on white clothes then I say it is worth a go and maybe try a second application. If you have severe stains and caking of deodorant then this won't do a lot and I wouldn't bother unless desperate, especially on white clothing.Also, this has a smell of vinegar to it (which does stay after the wash) and white vinegar is a well known solution to deodorant stains so I think I can guess what is in this spray bottle.

It creates new stains in the fabric, and minimally took out the yellow. I scrubbed it in, let it sit for 1 hour, then washed. It did nothing. It says to do it again, so I did and on the 2nd attempt a white shirt now has new stains in it.

It works if you put it on a fresh stain, one that you haven’t tried to wash out yet. But it doesn’t work well on old, washed clothes that have pre-existing stains

So I now can't live without this product! This removes those pesky sweating and deodorant stains from shirts! I got the natural fiber brush and I spray this on the armpits in the collars and I scrub the collars in the armpits before washing it doesn't matter how close to washing it is as long as it's done. Sometimes my wash waits overnight even after treated and it's perfectly fine no more odor when I'm ironing

Great product! I’m very happy with purchase.

This initially appeared to work. Followed the directions twice back to back and the shirts all appeared that the stains were gone. Hung them back in the closet, went to wear one 2 days later and somehow the stain was back. Even with multiple attempts at cleaning the stained areas it had no effect. For reference, it was white/sweat stains left in dark colored shirts from deodorant.
