This is a polyester shirt from the Uniqlo airism range.

I like the shirt, but recently it got these spots on it? Is this from sweat?

This picture is after washing with lots of detergent.

Is there a way to get it out?

It seems to disappear after a while, but comes back after washing.
The shirt also smells ok, but after wearing it for a short while it starts smelling.

    Do not wash using the regular setting in a washing machine in the US in any machine made in the last ten years. Choose another setting. The regular setting doesn’t do a good job. That is from several washing machine repairmen

      Care to explain pretty much anything from your comment? Why is the regular program not good? Why does it matter if you’re using it in the US? And which setting should I use instead? Should it be warmer, colder, less/more centrifuge?

      I’m using a specific program at low temperature (30 deg c) because otherwise the polyester won’t survive
