LLLEARNER Posted November 12, 2016 Author Posted November 12, 2016 It will be some time before my current gi is worn out. I hope. "Those who know don't talk.

LLLEARNER Posted November 23, 2016 Author Posted November 23, 2016 Just to keep people informed. I used oxy clean spray on the stains. It worked. Mostly. The stains while not gone are greatly diminished. I do not plan on using it after every use, but when the staining starts to get bad. "Those who know don't talk.

singularity6 Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 I'm a sweaty dude, and I have trashed countless undershirts and t-shirts over the years. I've since moved to CertainDri antiperspirant. It's pretty heavy-duty, and might be a little harsh for some... but I haven't had any issues with pit-stains ever since the switch. I use it in conjunction with a non-antiperspirant deodarant, as it is unscented. 5th Geup Jidokwan Tae Kwon Do/Hap Ki Do(Never officially tested in aikido, iaido or kendo)
Lupin1 Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 It's the aluminum in deodorant that causes pit stains. Since switching to aluminum-free deodorant (Arm & Hammer Essentials), I haven't had a single pit stain.
JR 137 Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 I've found scrubbing lightly with Oxy Clean spray works quite well on the pit stains and yellowing around the collar/lapel.My Shureido K-11 is about a year old now, and zero yellowing. Gotta love the Japanese gi cotton.
