Oxyclean is the best stuff! I put a scoop in every load of laundry. My bf used to have white deodorant stains on the outsides of his polo shirts, but after using Oxyclean with a few washes, the stains have gone away. Also, fabric softener helps additionally with the smells, and makes things nice and soft. The brand that I found works best for me is distributed by Quixtar (
www.quixtar.com). I have problems with other fabric softeners on my underwear making me itch, so I order the large size bottle and am good for months.
