Strange one here but thought one of you might have a remedy! My favourite black t-shirt has stains under the arm pits where antiperspirant has built up there Was wondering if anyone has any tips or knows how to remove them?

According to the papers, Madonna now insists on a bottle of Vodka backstage to get perspiration stains out of clothes.
If it doesn't work, drink the Vodka.

Get a deodarant stone and never have any staining again.

Deodorant Stones are crystals of natural mineral salts which actually inhibit the growth of odour forming bacteria on your body.
