If you make a paste of oxi clean and water, put it on the stain and leave overnight, then wash, that should help. I treat my collars and cuffs with laundry soap before every wash, then every so often I leave my white shirts in a strong oxi clean solution for a day or so before laundering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-collar-poppers#post-1332794 Sat, 16 Aug 2014 21:41:14 +0000 E 1332794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried drying them in direct sunlight? I had some white sheets that yellowed terribly, and the sun fixed it. </p> <p>I don't have any advice on what's causing it in the first place though. How frustrating!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-collar-poppers#post-1332780 Sat, 16 Aug 2014 21:22:50 +0000 Nicole D 1332780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Collar popping - is that when you turn up your collar? &nbsp;I would hate for you to have to give up neck cream - it's so important - although I guess you would just be skipping it on white shirt days. &nbsp;Of course perspiration can cause yellowing but that is &nbsp;a weird pattern for sweat. &nbsp;Yikes - I am afraid of bleach, hope it works out for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-collar-poppers#post-1332774 Sat, 16 Aug 2014 21:11:53 +0000 Tanya 1332774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That sounds reasonable, it could be something about the cream.&nbsp; Maybe you can try some dryer version of the cream or wait longer till it completely absorbs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-collar-poppers#post-1332770 Sat, 16 Aug 2014 21:09:50 +0000 Sveta 1332770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, I don't wear foundation. I put an untinted moisturizer on the front of my neck in the morning &nbsp;- maybe oil &nbsp;in it is causing it? It looks like these stains are where the collar may come into contact with my front neck..<br />If I can get rid of them I will try to skip the morning cream and see if they appear anyway.<br />&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-collar-poppers#post-1332766 Sat, 16 Aug 2014 21:05:56 +0000 Tanya 1332766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am sorry about the stains.&nbsp; Do you think they could be from make-up if you wear foundation? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-for-collar-poppers#post-1332765 Sat, 16 Aug 2014 21:04:38 +0000 Sveta 1332765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was doing laundry today and have noticed yellowish stains on the top&nbsp;sides of all my white shirts and a white blazer collars. At first I could not figure out what would have caused them but now I begin to think if collar popping is causing&nbsp; it? &nbsp;Dies anybody else have this problem with shirt collars?<br />I have attached a picture - not very good but I marked the places where this yellowish stains are.<br />I washed them - &nbsp;did not work. I soaked them in oxi clean - did not work. Now I am soaking one shirt in the bleach to see if it helps. Any ideas what else can be done to get rid of those stains and how to prevent them in the first place? </p> <p></p> <p>ETA: Reporting back: soaking collars in warm water with bleach seems to remove the stains - YAY! :-)</p>
