If any of your products can help me get rid of the yellow ring around my shirt collars, you have a customer (I hate throwing away $100 shirts after only a year of 2-3 times a month wearing).

FYI oxyclean is quite good at this, and so far hasn't damaged any of my clothes including dress shirts. The key is to soak the collar in very concentrated oxyclean solution (~1 full scoop or more per gallon) for several hours, and then wash the shirt like normal. Yellow ring disappears. I've even gotten pen ink stains out this way, which was incredible.

I just used oxiclean whitening for the first time and it made a bunch of white shirts (dress shirts and undershirts) look nearly new again. Pretty impressive stuff, and cheap too. Only downside is it made the fabric feel a little stiff and rough after drying. Next time I'll try a little vinegar in the rinse.
Tip: get some rubber gloves to deal with the concentrated solution.

We 10000% agree! The absolute worst. Give our stain remover a try after each use of the shirt! Once the stain is there and washed (the washing sets the stain a bit more) it's difficult to remove, but we've seen it remove wine, vinegar, and other incredibly difficult stains!

1) soak shirt in white vinegar / water (1 part to 4) for 1-4 hours (or overnight)
2) apply liberally a paste of baking soda & hydrogen peroxide to yellowed areas
3) let rest for 1-2 hours
4) wash normally
Bonus: use Bluette every few washes.
