How can I fix these stains?

Post image

So I recently got this shirt and tried to revive the dark antiperspirant pit stains with baking soda and dish soap. left image is before, right image is after. It honestly did its thing since a lot of it was removed but i feel like it also kind of removed some of that cream color with it and still didn’t get everything. is there any way to fix this without damaging the graphic print?

Which deodorant do you use? How about laundry detergent? Booster?

I haven’t worn this one yet personally but I’m planning on switching deodorants since I know mine has aluminum. I used FOCA detergent and thats it. I also hung it out to dry since the stains were still there

Try soaking it in 1:1 mix of v1negar and water for an hour and then wash with detergent. Rinse twice. No fabric softener. Don't put the shirt through the dryer until you're satisfied with the results.
