How to remove deodorant/sweat stains from shirts?

Question

I have always had a problem with under arm sweating, why I dunno but it's really annoying. Recently I have started to use a product called "Drysol", you apply it at night, remove it the next morning and your sweating problems are over, usually only have to do this once a week to maintaine the problem from happening. OK, that part I have down solid.

I have a emerald green sleevless shirt I just bought a few weeks ago and wore it last week for the first time (before using Drysol) and I have pit/deodorant stains where the shirt lies under the arm pit. I washed the shirt but it didn't come out, it faded a bit but didn't totally come out.

PLEASE, does anyone here know how to get this crap out? It's really frustrating and I don't want to trash the shirt, it's a hot shirt:)

Thanks.

P.S. I'm a guy and I have tried EVERY deodorant on the market, they all stain (especially if you sweat)! If anyone can recommend one that maybe I have not tried, I'm all ears:)

responding toThat's why I don't use commercial deodorants.I have a terribly bad funky armpit odour, like cockroach smell, so I needdeodorant. however not just any deodorant, because I don't want it to clogup my skin or give me bad smell afterwards. So I tried to stay away fromstore deodorants as much as possible, and I only use deodorant notantisperspirant. I've been using UARMSOL deodorant powder for many yearsnow and I have no more armpit odours. The deodorant pwd works even whenyou stop using it for a day or 2 because it doesn't leave you smelling badafterwards unlike other deodorants out there. Even when I sweat I don'thave any odours, this deodorant works great and I'm loving it. I can't goout in the day without putting it on. I applied 1 pinch and it's all to itfor the whole day without worries about any smell afterwards. There's noafter sport smell or odour masking. I would recommend it to anyone who hasunderarm odour.
