The primary active ingredient in most deodorants is alcohol; in antiperspirant the active ingredient is aluminum. The aluminum reacts to sweat, which is a protein, and causes yellowing just in the same way that bleach will cause sweat and other protein stains to appear more yellow. So the aluminum in deodorant is reacting not only with your sweat (protein) but also with your shirt itself. YUK!

With just four common and natural household ingredients, you can have the armpits of all your shirts free and clear in no time flat. And this hack is great, because it is without the use of chemical cleaners, bleaches, or expensive alternatives, that you can fix your clothes simply and quickly. Simply soak, coat a simple paste, let it set, and run your clothes through the machine. You’ll save your favorite T-shirt, save your money, and lessen your eco-print quickly and with ease! Enjoy this great hack and look great again in your favorite white shirts.
