Stinky and/or yellow armpit laundry tip.

I live in an apartment with a top load washer. I started to notice that my chef boyfriends armpits still stunk like him even after a wash. He only uses deodorant. I personally and the chubby one of the family and use deodorant anti-perspirant. I know the anti-perspirant actually makes my armpits yellow on my workout clothes. After a year of going back-and-forth trying to figure out how to fix this. I came across a website that discusses using ammonia in the washing machine. I'm lazy so I'm not pretreating the arm pits and scrubbing before I put them in the washer. I have simply been putting half the amount of soap I normally use and a half a cup to a cup of ammonia in the wash with the offending clothing items. Each time I wash when they come out they were half as bad as they were when they Came in. Old timey moms and wives knew about this so you don't have to buy that expensive laundry soap for it just use some ammonia.
