| I haven't had a job in 11 years, after my last job I just threw all of my work shirts into a suitcase, my mistake was not washing them first. Now I have somehow managed to get an office job but I need clothes, I opened my suitcase and all of my shirts have yellowish stains and discoloration around the neck, I can't afford new clothes, please tell me there's a method to get these stains out. | |

| Try soaking in hot water with Oxyclean, then wash as usual, or spray the yellowed areas with a stain remover like Zout, let sit for 15 mnutes, then wash as usual with warm water. If possible, turn inside out and hang to dry in direct sunlight. | |

| wear them inside out with the collar popped to show them how hard you worked in the past and to assert your dominance on your new territory | |

| get a sous vide unit | |
| get a big tub | |
| dump in a ton of nonchlorine bleach aka "oxyclean" | |
| fill it with hot water | |
| mix it up with a broom handle | |
| use the sous vide thing to keep the water hot and moving | |
| agitate every few hours | |
| do that for like 48 hours | |
| wring out the clothes | |
| launder them (cold wash), no need to use soap | |

| For what it's worth...apply Dawn Dish Soap to the stain and buff or scrub with an old toothbrush. | |
| Let set for 10 - 30 minutes. | |
| Machine wash as normal. | |
| The stain should be mostly, if not entirely, removed. | |
| >For some reason Dawn is the only brand that really seems to work. It breaks down oils. | |
| The stain is just natural body oils. | |

| I remember when I was a kid there were TV ads all the time about which laundry detergent would clean "ring around the collar" | |
| Then *poof* nobody has mentioned ring around the collar in 30 years. | |

| If you have an HE washer, rinse the dawn out first. The suds may be an issue with your mschine. | |

| wow I thought only I had this problem. after a day at work, where I'm just sitting at a desk, my shirt will be spotless but there will almost always be a slight ring right where the collar folds over. I thought it was my hair somehow but even after a haircut when my hair is really short it shows up. | |
| I use oxiclean pretreatment spray and it removes it fine. no idea how well it works with really dried stains though. | |
