How Do You Prevent Underarm Stains On Clothes?
No matter what time of year it is, underarm stains can appear on clothing even if you aren’t sweating. Sweat does not cause the yellow stains to appear; rather, antiperspirant mixed with sweat is the culprit. These stains can be embarrassing, and they can also damage fabric. A few extra steps will prevent this problem from occurring. Wash your armpits with an antibacterial soap and dry thoroughly. Apply a thin layer of antiperspirant and allow it to dry completely before you put on your clothes. Wet underarms will stick to your clothing, causing the annoying stains you are trying to avoid. Pretreat the underarm areas of your clothing with a few drops of liquid detergent before tossing them in your hamper. Wash clothes in cold water. Use your regular detergent and 1 cup of baking soda. Remove clothes from washer promptly, and check underarms for stains. If any stains remain, line-dry clothes in the sun to prevent the stains from setting in the dryer.
