Removing body odor

[Blubberly]

Does anyone know any ways to remove underarm body odor from tee shirts?

This hot weather is killing my husband and making me go broke! He does manual labor for a living with no a/c. Sweating is not the word!!! His shirts are ruined. I have tried soaking in tide before washing, but no luck They still stink!!

Help me help my husbands stinky pits!!

LOL, I think you mean "odor". Put Borax in your wash.

Soak them in Odoban (I know it can be purchased at Sams Club, but you might be able to find it other places)

Here is a link to acarters suggestion

But if you're cheap like me and don't have a Sam's club card,
this is usually available at any grocery store or drug store.

Thanks guys! I will have to look in to.

If they're made of cotton or non-shrink fibres try boiling them. I've got two teenage boys - one who gasses us out with Lynx every day and one who won't use deodorant at all, so I get your problem. :hug

Re: Removing body odor

I found that in real hot outside activities I use foot powder or some kind of non-odor baby powder and it helps the sweat from even getting that bad! It sure keeps you dry. I will look into the other stuff now thatI have seen one listed. It should be good for stuff that's been packed away
