I have a dark blue silk shirt and it had white deodorant stains on it. I rubbed detergent into the stains then washed the shirt, but the stains stayed there. Then I soaked the stains in white vinegar and washed the shirt, but the stains remained. Then I poured Methylated Spirits over the stains and rubbed the fabric together to loosen the deodorant substance, and then straight away I put the shirt into the washing machine (which had a small amount of ordinary soap powder in it). I washed the shirt in that for five minutes then took it out and rinsed it in cold water and dried it on a coat hanger outside. The stains were completely removed without a trace.
