How to remove yellow armpit stains
Everybody has noticed yellow stains in the armpit area of a white cotton t-shirt. These yellow stains are very unsightly and can basically ruin your favorite top, shirt or dress!
Yellow armpit stains can be prevented by not using deodorants or antiperspirants that contain certain ingredients that stick to the fabric. Many people report that using natural deo crystals does not lead to yellow stains on white clothes. Some people swear by natural or home made deodorants. However, even they can leave yellow stains in the armpit area since they can be caused by sweat and skin oils alone.
