Check the care tag! If your article is dry-clean only, this not only won't work, it will possibly damage your clothing. Most dry cleaners can remove deodorant stains from clothes, just bring it to their attention when you drop off the clothes.
Step2
Sprinkle baking soda over deodorant stain somewhat thickly, rub it into the fabric a little bit.
Step3
Pour vinegar over the baking soda. There will be a very bubbly chemical reaction. Add a bit more baking soda, and then another couple of tablespoons of vinegar.
Step4
Brush off excess "crust" after the chemical reaction has finished and the bubbling has stopped. Wash clothing as normal, but DO NOT DRY yet. When clothes come out of the wash, check for stain removal. If stain isn't completely gone, Repeat all steps above.
Tips & Warnings
Don't dry the clothing with the stains in it! After drying, stains like deodorant are pretty set and will be extremely difficult to remove.
Consider investing in one of the clear deodorants, one that could prevent having this problem on other clothing.
