Anyone have success with those nasty waxy deodorant spots/stains under the armpits in shirts?

I've got several work polo shirts (most are white all are 100% cotton) but I do have some that are colors that are still in great shape except for the yucky deodorant spots under the armpits.

Hot water, bleach (on the white), biz, clorox2, ammonia, etc. Tried most of the standard things.

Anyone have any great tips to tackle this laundry issue?

I could change deodorant but then I'd have sweat issues to deal with! LOL!

•1:1:1 – One part baking soda, one part hydrogen peroxide, one part water. Make a solution of the three ingredients. You will need about 1/4 cup each of baking soda, hydrogen peroxide and water to treat one shirt. Protect the countertop with a thick white towel, rub 1:1:1 solution into stains and allow to work for at least 30 minutes. Use an old soft toothbrush or bristle brush to loosen any residue and then wash as usual in warm or cold water.

2|2|I also heard about using white vinegar....probably better on whites rather than colors. I like the one saint offered since the paste would actually stay on the fabric|suezz|clearys@comcast.net|15:07:04|05/05/2012|

Only thing I found that worked slightly is vinegar and actually if you put your deodorant on twenty-30 minutes PRIOR to putting on your shirt|Kristy|mi3zons1@yahoo.com|15:53:19|05/05/2012|
