Is scrubbing them with soap proper enough, or should I be using some kind of industrial solvent?

If your pits still smell when exiting the shower, you just gotta get back in and rewash. I had this issue back when I used scented products and strong antiperspirants, it was difficult to get rid off the old gunk because it was properly matted. Unscented and gentle products are easier to wash away and to notice what is sweat and what is old product.

I don't have issues with "matted gunk," I scrub and exfoliate until the previous day's antiperspirant is fully gone. They don't smell when I get out of the shower. However, after about 6-7 hours or less while sweating, it's back. Bacteria gonna do what bacteria gonna do.

I was answering more to the "industrial cleaner", too strong cleaning just makes the skin protect itself faster. And sweating in 6-7 hours is normal.
