True confession: Underarm stain

True confession: I sometimes get underarm stains on my light colored shirts. I have found a solution that WORKS.

 Take this J Crew oxford (95% cotton/5% spandex). It was languishing in my closet. 
Before
One (1) part blue Dawn was mixed with two (2) parts hydrogen peroxide. A sprinkle of baking soda was added as well. The area was scrubbed for approximately 3 minutes and allowed to rest while the other underarm was treated.
Supplies Used
The garment was rinsed and dried … and voila! No trace of stain remains. I went through the closet looking for other stains. This method also works like a charm on ring-around-the-collar.

After
The shirt is BACK in rotation! It's part of my 33 garment collection (see post from Friday, June 13 "join me on a journey: for more info).

 Enjoy!

    Is there something specific about the blue dawn versus the other varieties?
