Stain, stain...go away!?

What is the best laundry product or any other product for pit stains...old and new? There are few shirts I would love to revive, except for those pit stains that won't budge! AHHH!

    Spray and Wash laundry stain remover is what I usually use for tough stains. Pre-treat the stains according to the package directions and you will likely get good results. Part of the reason that you are getting these stains could be because you are using fabric softener. Downy and other fabric softeners work by depositing a waxy substance on the clothes, thus making them feel softer. It also causes them to stain more easily and makes fabric more flammable. To prevent this, use white vinegar instead of fabric softener, it's better for your clothes and for your budget.

    ahhhh i know your pain unfortunately there really isn't a good detergent that gets pits stains completely out... all i can say is for whites try bleaching them out....

    but i guess just staying dry will prevent them and just buy some new shirts
