Preventing Yellow Stains?

I use Secret Extra Strength because I sweat a lot underneath my armpits. The shirt is Adidas YOC cap-sleeve shirt for tennis. I don't want to use anything that will ruin it because of what it will do to the material.

Update:

Ironing will ruin the shirt.

    I just read in the magazine called "Real Simple" that to prevent yellowing under the armpits of your shirts you should sprinkle the underarm area of the shirt with baby powder and then iron it. It's supposed to put a layer on the shirt that won't be able to be seen and it will prevent yellowing. I haven't tried it yet but thought I might tell you about it. If your shirt is a micro fiber which it sounds like it might be, you could iron it with a towel on top of the shirt so that you don't burn the shirt. Good luck and hey, I hope it works.

    Biz is an enzyme that will remove those organic stains. I think I have also heard that peroxide or baking soda will work on those but you might want to search the Internet for more information about that.
