Do you get them.

I don't and I'm getting tired of having to bleach them out of my wife's white shirts (she gets very faint ones).

In college, I knew this guy whose pit stains were so bad, they'd even show up on dark green shirts...

Rob, if I were you, I would stop complaining and just do as you're told.

Now get offline and get back to cleaning.

Rob's doing a load by hand.

PS: I use good antiperspirant, I'm a runner, and I don't get stains. But what I do is throw quarter of a cup of baking soda in with my running clothes.

Pit stain? Gross. But, yes some deodorants can cause them and oils from sweat glands.


Make a paste of ammonia and color-safe bleach, let stand for 30 minutes and wash in hottest water possible.

Or use scissors to get the stain out. :D


You can thank me later when it's dark in here.

I don't, but I notice that women often do on their bras or tops.

I wonder if the fabric has something to do with it. Most "guy stuff" is cotton (cotton shirts, cotton t-shirts), while women's stuff is often silk, or satin, or some kind of synthetic.

I'm glad I only wear cotton, then...
