but didn't ruin the pits of my clothing. Plagued me for years, but totally solvable. My wife and are active and sweat a lot here in the tropical summers of NE USA. I am the clothes washer. I have lots of experience fixing this. You can fix that by presoaking your clothes in hot water and a teeny amount detergent (and/or Borax and/or Arm & Hammer laundry booster aka "laundry stripping") for a few hours. Can also try scrubbing some detergent directly into the pits before tossing into the wash. I've heard vinegar works too. Just don't mix vinegar and bleach.
