Hi Lyn

The peroxide tip was on another site. Woman who used it said it worked. I dont know if it did or not as luckily enough I dont have that problem.

You can get peroxide from chemists.

I hope you find a solution

It's caused by an underarm deodorant reacting with perspiration (a change of deodorant may make a difference) the recommended way of dealing with it is an overnight soak in water containing peroxide bleach followed by a rinse and normal wash as per the fabric care label. Soak/wash immediately after wearing whenever possible.

Personally I wouldn't use a 'colour' or liquid detergent to deal with this type of stain as neither contain bleach.

I'm self employed and totally independent though I do receive free training from Procter and Gamble (manufacturers of Ariel), for further help and advice it may be worth trying their helpline on 0800 028 3393.

Thanks for that insight into the washing powder and Deodorant Andy. We all use either sure or rightguard deo and I normally use a bio liquid detergent .

I think I may start using powder again then . Thanks for the phone number

I think you might find it is the rightguard. I have had this problem on and off for years.

Try using Mitcham unperfumed, it seems to help.

hmmm .Thanks Biff . The boys like it because it seems to do a good job but I will give the Mitcham a go.

I invested in some Mitcham roll on (the one that smells like talcum powder - not the fragarance free one) and it hasnt really helped with the white marks, but it certainly stops me sweating!! Really like it
Just been through all my holiday clothes and sprayed them all at the underarms with vinegar/water mix (Drenched them to be honest!) left them for about an hour and now washing them through - will let you know how i get on!

Fingers crossed they will survive to fight another holiday!
