How can I get deodorant stripes from my clothes?

I have 3 tops which have white deodorant stripes on them from when I put them on (and have useless deodorant which marked them). They've been through that washing machine 4 times, on different intensity of washes, with a variety of washing powders, including a pre wash and using vanish. Still, the white marks have not gone.

Have been looking online for how to remove them and all I can find is things using citric acid, which I don't have. Does anyone know how I can remove them? I've got bicarb and I think soap flakes if there's a way to do it with those. Really need these tops for my holiday next week!

White vinegar? I have used this to get sweaty smells out.

DO you soak it or rub it in or put it in the dishwasher sunny ? ATM I'm soaking the tops in soda crystals...

Well I would slosh a bit over the bad bits then maybe soak for a while then wash as normal.

It won't hurt if it doesn't help!

Well, soda crystals didn't work, so off to try vinegar now.
