Ugh Armpit Stains! Gross!

I don't know what it is about white t-shirts that I find so comforting. I have had probably at least 20 of them in the last like 5 years or so? (that number seems low) Anyways, I always throw them away because of those nasty armpit stains. I have learned to find out that they are not because of sweat but because of the reaction of your sweat and your deodorant. And you try to get rid of them but no way! Bleach doesn't work (really?! bleach?!) and your common fabric stain remover (shout for example) doesn't even come close. 


So I discovered this "miracle solution" on Pinterest and of course was skeptical but I decided to try it. I'm sure if you have Pinterest you've seen this on there as well. Here's the Pin from my Pinterest

Anyways, in the blog this lady she posted how she added baking soda and used a scrub brush. So naturally I did the same thing. I first tried it on my Husband's Harley t-shirt that he had to wear for riding his Harley around base (it's long sleeved) but man did he wear the CRAP out of that shirt. Thing got gross fast he also wore it to work on the construction on base that I previously talked about. (We live in Texas sweating all day working on a bar, ew!) Ok I'm ranting but it worked! So I was like ok if it worked on that I'm definitely doing it to my beloved white t-shirts. Here's the results from my "experiment" 


1. Here's a picture of the stain on one of my t-shirts (inside out to scrub! p.s. I know that this doesn't really look too yellow but if you look at your own I'm sure you'll know what I mean)

2. The products that I used

3. A picture of what the solution looked like and the brush that I used

4. What the shirt looked like after a normal run through the wash

Viola! No more throwing away my white t-shirts! 

Helpful hint! After I scrubbed the shirt and I could tell that the stain had been lifted, I rinsed my shirts off with warm water. (In the blog I pinned she had let her shirts sit for an hour and they were fine without being rinsed.)
