Powder - beats liquid?

Good point, i noticed on a Navy Blue Next tshirt i have there is some serious sweat staining (cant believe im saying this) yet on everyother t shirt i have is clean as a whistle. They all get washed in colour detergents religiously so i personally put it down to maybe different dye structures reacting with my sweat. On that note have to say I have switched to Boots Botanicals anti persp stick and its fantastic, given up on Sure roll on which was good but in extreme uk heated weather it couldnt cope. Cant use aerosol either or end up choking on fumes. The boots one is as good as aerosol if not better too. Not a drip off me now. Will keep a close eye on my t shirt laundering see whats going on.

Hi, I used the Sure roll-on too, and found it left waxy deposits on the shirts. I had switched from Lynx, after they meddled with the formula and made me allergic. I now use Adidas spray, and that seems to do the trick.

You're right about dye structures, I had a pale green T-shirt that always gave off a chemical-type smell, no matter which detergent and fabric softener it was washed in. I came to the conclusion that it was the type of dye used.

Off Topic- yet another example of dodgy Chinese goods!

There was a report in the paper about clothes from China having excessive levels of formaldehyde applied to them. This can be carcinogenic. Apparently New Zealand identified the problem, and alerted the UK.

I watch my tee shirts and maybe once a year or so, I have to gather up a few and run them on a nice long 190 degree wash with powder TIDE he and a bit more stpp than usual. That manages to blast away deposits in the underarm areas. You are very right that liquid detergents seem ineffective against this type of soil.
