Why are arm pit stains so difficult to remove?

David has a peculiar question that he's wanting to find the answer to.

"Why do shirts become soiled under arms pit even if cleaned after every wear. I am not a particularly sweaty person and I don’t recall it happening years ago. I read it could be the deodorant. Can it be cleaned if so how? It’s a shame to have to throw away before their time."

umm...same David?
🤔

Most of Us sweat.
But if the stains aren't going away after a regular wash, then i suspect the deodorant to be the Cause.

I generally rub the detergent paste on the collars n brush it hard before putting them inside the washer.

You might want to try the similar Trick!
Maybe it would Work.

Me too.

I don't use deodorant, and my clothes don't stain.
