Only wash the uniform shirts alone
Use the highest water setting
Don't use bleach
Use high quality detergent ie Tide in limited quantities
If you're really into it repeat the cycle but without any detergent
Air dry only!
I also apply via roller a detergent water mix to the inside collar.

Eh, SNAPS is what it is.
I hate stick deodorant, hate the feel of antiperspirant but is there a non-alumnium spray?
Antiperspirant makes brown people look like their under arms have been going NOM NOM NOM on powdered donuts and ain't nobody got time for dat.

Why am I in charge of this?

True, but everyone will marvel at your ability to wear a grown-up onsie to work.
Or you could get the Mod V style, I hear it has a butt zipper for just that scenario.

Psh I just do it because its easier and I like nicely pressed shirts. Not because I am Mr. money bags, I just try to use that uniform allowance accordingly.Must be nice. The other half still has to wash and iron as part of our pre trip regiment.

I vote for ACUs. Two-piece, so no, err, pooping issues. No ironing, no bleaching, that little stain from your enroute lunch blends right in to the landscape, cargo pockets for the wallet instead of sitting on it, no shirt tails to come un-tucked and look slovenly, ... it's perfect!

Spray on deodorant. Flashbacks to junior high gym class.
I hate residue and I'm generally not a heavy underarm sweater so anti perspirant isn't worth the discomfort.

Drop that one in the trash can, and get yourself a new shirt.

The problem is that white clothes aren't really white. They're grey, beige or yellowish....even if you bleach the crap out of them.
But since we all dig white white, most kinds of white fabric have a "bluing agent" in them, that adds a faint blue tint to the fabric, which counteracts the yellow. That's why after long use your shirts and whatnot become yellow or grey....the bluing agent gradually leeches out of the fabric, and you're left with what the fabric really looks like.
If you want to fix it, you need to re-blue the fabric, with something like:

So, it depends on how bad you want to keep that particular shirt. If they're spendy or you've got them fitted just right, then it's probably worth the trouble. If they're $14 Van Huesens, then probably not.
I send mine to the cleaners, and don't run into this much anymore.

Wait... you don't like powdered donuts or your under arms don't like them?! I look like this guy when I enjoy a powdered donut.

+1 on the Oxy Clean. Don't use bleach.
My biggest shirt problem is the shoulder harnesses making a black mess of the top/back of my shoulders. Comes out easy enough with Shout Greasy Stain Formula, but looks like hell after most flights.

Second on OxyClean. I wash my shirts by themselves with a scoopful and the hottest water possible and let them soak for at least an hour. Only use bleach for your tighty-whiteys and socks
