Caked on antiperspirant armpit stains that resist all attempts to come out in the wash can be dislodged with something acidic.

You might try soaking in undiluted vinegar over a couple of days.

But I’m impatient so I use a small amount of pool acid directly on the damp stains, enough to re-wet them. After a few minutes the stains turn into a mushy paste that you can get out with a brush and in the wash.

⚠️ Hydrochloric acid is powerful stuff, don’t touch it if you don’t know how to handle it safely.

I'd be terrified of hydrochloric. Perhaps a paste of citric acid powder sitting for a few days might work

Cool. I just cut off the arms of old t-shirts and use them as gym shirts
