    Company gave me some day-glo green polo shirts.

    After the first week they were stained from sweat, and I think I'm going to have to try some of these suggestions to get the stains out. I'm not required to wear them, but I do because they're so wonderfully obnoxious.

    I have a a few dayglow green polyester dickies shirts with pockets from wallyworld. They "wick" and dry quick. At 9 bucks a piece, we can trash them if they get too bad. Try the coke...my jacket had alot of stains from delivering fuel additive and blends on both sleeves and the front.

    It seems Coke is a popular stain remover, who knew it removed stains...as a young man, I use to consume my share of it as a beverage, I guess my stomach is stain free...:)...I will give it a try. I had tried dawn on the first few a while back, without success...perhaps I waited too long to treat them, so I have 2 high viz shirts for my honey-do chores at home...

    Coke is a nasty acid, that's why it works so well at removing stains and tooth enamel.
