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.
