will this remove the yellow, crusty armpit stains caused by deodorant on mens' under shirts?

I nave never tried to remove them with Fels Naptha. What I find works well for that type of stain is automatic dish washing powder in a solution. A good overnight soak in a solution gets that yellow out nicely.

Use the soup on the stain with a little water. Leave the soup on the stain. Soak the shirt in oxyclean and it will probably come out. Using both products is best. The soap does work well. I use both products together.

I haven't, but make sure to have your clients wear no deoderant (that can make it green in armpits) Also, if it does appear a bit green I'd imagine it's because of having ash tone in the solution in order to cancel out orange. Should come off after rinsing. Hope that helps!

I think it is worth a try - it will not effect the fabric. You may have to follow up with an oder remover, like Fabreze for cars, but this product does get rid of the odors associated with the stain.

I agree with the other reviewers who have responded. I've never noticed any stains or marks on anything after using Crystal Body Deodorant Stick.

Yes really well. Also I read on Internet to put a little under arm instead of a deordarant and it worked really well. I love the stuff. Put a little in shampoo and body wash works really well also. I bought another pound just to make sure it was around. A little goes a long way. Good luck

No of course not. The product is great. The stains are caused by execessive sweating.

Yes, after treating our undergarments separately we have noticed a huge change. Using this with unscented detergent cured our problem.

It's the powder solid, and it caused a rash under my arms, so I don't know how effective it is at deodorizing. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

No, not at all..it's one of the only things I've found that gets the stinky sweat smell out of my husbands gym clothes. Good stuff.

Yes. After using this product exclusively for several months, I noticed significant fading of brightly colored clothing. It does a good job of cleaning, but the fading was a problem. I switched to another detergent for my colored laundry, but continue do whites (cloth diapers, towels and white sheets, underwear and men's undershirts) with Charlie's Soap.

It does seem to reduce sweat significantly, but it doesn't stop it entirely. It's well worth a try, though, because I've not found odorless sweat in small quantities to be problematic. It does a spectacular job of preventing odors, as long as you thoroughly cover the armpits and surrounding areas.

It may for very mild odors, but not at all for moderate or strong odors. I tested on a top that I had worn without deodorant and had some underarm odor and it did not take out or even reduce the odor (and I REALLY steamed it). Infact it seemed to take out the fragrance from my soap/lotion that was previously mixed in with the sweat so that I could smell the sweat even more distinctly after steaming! To test how it works on strong odors, I tried on a worn sock (not that anyone would ever want to steam out a sock, but..) and again, it did not remove the odor and I also didn't notice any reduction in the odor. The sock in particular was not a fun experiment, but now you know. It may for very mild odors, but not at all for moderate or strong odors.

If you're switching from a regular deodorant to this, then yes, there will be a detox period as your body purges out the aluminum residue from your sweat glands. I switched from a mineral stone to this, and didn't have the same issue. However, this product is inconsistent, and the second jar I bought gave me a rash, whereas the first didn't.

I do not sweat under my armpits with this product. HOWEVER do not apply large amount because it will rub off on your shirt.

Yes. The deodorant solid is white and stays white after application. I'm careful but I have no doubt you'd see it on your clothes if you weren't.

It will remove almost any stain. You may have to let it sit for a while before washing. Wet it good first and soap the item thoroughly.
