white summer tops with underarm stains

I am not very good at clothes maintenance so would appreciate some advice.

I have got out my white cotton summer tops and several of them have sweat/deodorant stains under the arm.

Is there a strong bleach I can use to get rid of them?

please help!

Don't use bleach, it can just make it yellower - what you want is some NapiSan or similar biological nappy soaking stuff. Soak them overnight in a bucket of hot water and however much NapiSan they say on the packet. Then hot wash in the machine. Throw white towels or sheets in the machine with them, it'll do them good.

Repeat a few times if necessary. Using a tumble dryer will make the underarm stains worse over time, by the way.

Yes do not use bleach it will set the stain and make it darker. Use PitStop armpit stain remover it will take out old and new yellow/ grey/ brown armpit stains and it comes with a money back guarantee! Go to www.armpitstainremover.com
