This is an urgent appeal on behalf of black and dark coloured tops and t-shirts. Every year thousands are defaced, and discarded before their time. Deodorant marks are a serious problem people, and it needs to be addressed quickly. Studies show that at least 7 in 10 people will be affected by this issue at some point in their lives* .Last week I attempted to save my best long sleeved black tshirt (£3 from Tesco) the price doesn't matter, the issue was I soaked it vinegar and alcohol (the white vinegar and the non-drinkable variety of booze . . . Naturally) but sadly these marks would not budge. 

I have tried many varieties of deodorant (including ones claiming to increase the life span of my clothing) but they have all fallen short on their "invisible" claims . . . . That, or I just end up smelling bad by 3pm. 

Please repost this in your status if you have been affected . . . . Oh sorry wrong site!

Anyway, any recommendations people?

* this statistic is completely false, I made it up, I lied.

I can't say I've had a problem with Dove solid deodorant that is marketed as invisible or LBD friendly.
"alcohol - the non drinkable variety of booze" Please explain. Not come across this before.
grasscarp, methanol.
Thanks Tony. I thought nelly was buying something from the alcohol section of Tesco and wasting it. Nelly have you tried Vanish or any of the other stain removers.
I use Dove roll on, no problems at all

Yes tried nail varnish remover, and sadly I have found that Dove Invisible dry roll on only makes good on one of its promises, that it is indeed invisible, sadly I definitely dont stay dry with it!
Have you tried the solid one Nelly? It might be worth a try, it certainly suits me and my clothes.
grasscarp, wasting alcohol, perish the thought.
Nelly - I didnt say nail varnish remover - I said Vanish.
For your specific problem after a bit of googling found this
http://www.amazon.co....r-250ml/dp/B0038D5EGG
Aloe Ever-Shield by Forever Products. I wear black all the time....no white marks and as tonyav now knows.............I smell sweet.
LOL @ gness, lets have a sniff then.
If anotheoldgit were to read this, no doubt he'd be asking if there would be an appeal if the t-shirts were white...
One,two,three..............deep breath. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Yep, you smell loverly.
Why have I never suffered from underarm wetness or perspiration there. Am I unique. I still use deodorant. How silly am I!!
Thank you.
Nelly your posts are always so funny!
Next time drink the alcohol nelly, then you won't notice the stains.
Nelly, turn your T-shirt out side in and wash it in salt warm water.
Try Mitchum deodorant, nelly - never had a white mark from that, I use the roll-on.
