?How to get rid of yellow spots under armpits on clothes

There are many reasons for the appearance of yellow spots on clothes; identifying the real culprit will be difficult. Housewives note that stains may appear after washing. However, dirt is present on all the attributes of our wardrobe: on colored and dark things they are not so noticeable.

Machine washing alone will not be enough to remove yellowness. Recommendations tested by many housewives will help.

Why does sweat stains turn yellow?

There are several reasons for this:

The sweaty clothes were not washed for a long time.
We tried to hide the smell of sweat with deodorant.
The sweat mixed with the antiperspirant: the salts and lipids that make up the sweat reacted with the aluminum salts contained in the deodorant. As a result, persistent yellow stains have formed that cannot be washed off even in a washing machine.

Sweat stains? What are you talking about? )

Advice from Chistyuli. Improper care is one of the most common reasons for a damaged item. Improper washing, drying, ironing and even spinning is why your favorite (and so expensive!) clothes get spoiled. By following the link you will find ALL tables of icons for washing products by labels and even without them. Read and be sure to bookmark it.

Chromidiosis (disease)

Chromidrosis is a pathology of the body in which sweat turns different colors (yellow, brown, blue, even green). It is often combined with hyperhidrosis (increased sweating in different areas of the skin) and osmidrosis (sweating with an unpleasant odor).

Often the sweat in the groin also becomes colored (pink, red) (this can be seen on the panties - stains appear there on the side of the leg). For diagnosis and treatment, you need to consult a dermatologist. He will tell you how to learn to prevent such troubles.

Why is it difficult to remove stains from sweat and deodorant?

Of course, yellow sweat stains can appear on their own, without the participation of a deodorant, but together with it they create a special composition that is difficult to remove in the future. The whole problem is aggravated by the fact that traces of sweat are just a real feast for bacteria, which multiply and begin to smell bad.

But in addition to the smell, yellow stains also form on clothes, which, together with the chemical compounds of perfumes, begin to create more complex variations of the mixture that are resistant to most washing powders.

Preventing yellow stains from sweat on clothes

How to remove yellow sweat stains from white and colored synthetic clothing? Artificial fabrics are distinguished by their unusual texture, beautiful pattern, and fibers, while cotton or wool look too traditional. Nevertheless, it will be appropriate both for the body and for the prevention of yellow spots if you wear natural things made of cotton, linen, and wool in the heat.

Linen, cotton and wool allow sweat to evaporate freely from the body without accumulating.
After using antiperspirant, wait until the product dries. Or use a deodorant that dries instantly, such as an aerosol.
Don't apply too much antiperspirant: firstly, when there is too much of it, it clogs the sweat ducts and pores. But the armpits are called the second kidneys of a person! Second, deodorant builds up on clothing and is difficult to remove when washing, resulting in permanent yellow stains.
Avoid antiperspirants that contain aluminum salts (the instructions say: aluminum chloride, aluminum chloride, aluminum chlorohydrate. In Latin: aluminum chlorohydrate, aluminum chloride, AlCl3).
Timely shaving of the armpits saves from the accumulation of sweat and odor (hair very actively adsorbs liquid).
To remove sweat stains, do not use chlorine or products containing it (“Whiteness”, etc.). This treatment will cause the spots to darken, turning from yellow to brown.
Do not iron those places where there are yellow spots on the fabric: the iron will finally fix the “color”, which will then be very difficult to remove.

Yellow spots in the armpits from sweat form for several reasons...
If you suffer from hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), you can use special underarm pads that will absorb sweat and protect your clothes. I also advise you to wear thin underwear under your formal clothes that covers your armpits: a T-shirt, shirt, etc.

Unfortunately, underarm pads are expensive. If you're used to saving money, but don't want to stay sweaty, sew several pairs of these armpit pads yourself. You will read about how to do this at the end of the article. By the way, homemade pads are a godsend for allergy sufferers who cannot use ready-made products from cosmetic stores.

Causes of spots on armpits

Every person hates the idea of sweat stains appearing on clothes, especially if it is a work blouse or a weekend suit. Knowing that it is impossible to stop the physiological and absolutely natural process of sweat formation, we all begin to actively use deodorants and antiperspirants.

In addition to special products that block sweating or eliminate its odor, sweat, due to its complex composition rich in hormones, fatty acids, salts, proteins and toxins of the body, settles on the fabric of clothing, as a result mixing with oxygen and deodorant to form unpleasant stains.

Preventing Excessive Sweating

Try to shower twice a day. The body must be washed until it is squeaky clean and wiped dry - this is an important condition.
Smoking, alcohol, salty, fried, spicy and hot foods provoke increased sweating. Really.
Are you nervous? Take something calming - stress makes you sweat more than usual.
In the morning after a shower, treat clean armpits with formidron, urotropine, Teymurov's paste, soda solution, burnt alum. All of these are products that reduce sweat production - at the same time they will rid things of potential stains.
Wear natural clothes. Synthetics create a greenhouse effect, sweat evaporates worse, accumulates on the body, and is absorbed into clothing. Eco-friendly fabrics will help you always be fresh.

What is not recommended to do

There are a number of products that are not recommended to be used, as there is a risk of irreparably damaging the item. So, the main “prohibited techniques”:

Use of chlorine bleaches. These products cannot be used on either white or colored fabrics; the action of chlorine leads to darkening of the fabric fibers.
Wash in hot water. Under the influence of high temperature, particles of sweat and deodorant only “eat” into the material even more.
Dry under the sun or on a radiator. If you decide to dry your clothes this way, it will increase the unpleasant sweat odor from your clothes.

Remember that when using any sweat stain remover, do not rub it too hard into the fibers of the fabric, as this can damage the material.

How to wash sweaty clothes correctly

How to remove sweat stains under the arms on white clothes, colored correctly? A couple of simple rules will save your blouse from traveling to the trash can:

Try not to wear such a thing twice - wash it as soon as possible.
Will you be removing old sweat stains? First, test the chosen product in an inconspicuous place.
Some products are quite caustic. So wear gloves.
Treat traces of sweat from the wrong side.
Use warm (not hot) water. Also, if the stain has not been washed off, you should not iron it.
You need to get rid of the stain quickly before it becomes old.

If a product that has a yellow stain from sweat cannot be washed, it is recommended to resort to special products.

The SmellOff sweat odor neutralizer has proven itself well among customers. The main active ingredient is enzymes that penetrate deep into any product and remove molecules of unpleasant “aroma”. The composition contains non-aggressive substances, and therefore the product is safe and harmless to your skin. This universal product allows you to eliminate stench not only from clothes, but also from furniture, car interiors, shoes, etc.

Cleaning linen and cotton

Dense fabrics such as cotton and linen are more resistant to fiber damage from chemicals than synthetics or natural wool fibers. For this reason, you can easily use any of the options listed above.

The main advantage of dense material is the ability to choose the right substance for yourself and even use them in combination. For example, before removing yellow stains from white clothes with an ammonia solution, you can treat the stain with a suspension of salt, baking soda and detergent.

Home Remedies

Proper washing will preserve your favorite item for a long time

Dish gel. Mix a glass of warm water and a tablespoon of gel. Stir thoroughly and pour into a wide bowl. Dip the contaminated area into this liquid. After 2 hours, rinse and wash. Some dish gels bleach fabrics. Therefore, I recommend this recipe only for white fabrics.
Baking soda. Add enough water to the soda to make a thick paste. Apply to the stain and scrub with a brush. Leave to act for an hour. Shake off any remaining baking soda and rinse. Wash it in the machine.
Laundry soap. Soak the sweat stain with warm water. Lather thickly with soap. The thing will seem to wash itself. Leave for 2 hours and wash.
Persol. Dissolve 1 teaspoon of persalt in a glass of water. Wet the stain generously and leave for 2 hours. Rinse and wash.
Refined gasoline is sold in hardware stores. Dampen the stain with gasoline. Rub with your hands. Do the laundry. This recipe is not suitable for synthetics.
Hydrogen peroxide 3% + baking soda + “Fairy”. Prepare a stain remover by mixing hydrogen peroxide (30 ml), soda (2 tbsp), Fairy or other dish gel, shampoo or liquid soap (1 tbsp). Apply to stains for 15 minutes. Wash and rinse.
Liquid soap + salt + soda. This homemade stain remover consists of liquid soap (3 tbsp), baking soda (1 tbsp), salt (1 tbsp). Apply this saline solution to the spots under your arms for 30-40 minutes. Do the laundry.

Cotton

White things can be bleached well with hydrogen peroxide. Place the item in a clean, dry basin. Apply peroxide to the stain. After 5 minutes, rinse and wash.

Or wash it in a washing machine on intensive mode at 90℃.

Delicate fabrics

Universal recipe. Dissolve 250 g of salt in a liter of warm water. It is better if it is purified “Extra”, without iodine. But you can also take coarse salt (in this case, the finished solution will need to be filtered to get rid of impurities such as pebbles). Dip the contaminated area into this solution. After 30-40 minutes, rinse.
Silk, chiffon. Add hydrogen peroxide 3% (15 ml) to water (200 g). Apply for 5 minutes. Do the laundry.
Thin knitwear. Moisten the stain with 9% table vinegar and leave for 1 hour. Do the laundry.
Colored synthetics. Prepare a solution of 9% vinegar with water (1:4, more water).
Wool. Mix ammonia (2 parts) and white spirit (4 parts). Apply to stains and let absorb. Wash in warm water. The recipe is suitable for both thin fabrics and thick ones (sweaters, etc.).
I recommend taking expensive delicate items to the dry cleaner.

Delicate items will still be fresh

How to remove sweat odor from delicate items

Items that cannot be vigorously washed, rubbed, or processed at high temperatures are very difficult to get rid of the absorbed smell of sweat. After washing, the powder masks the sweaty smell, and we think it has disappeared. But as soon as you put on a T-shirt, jacket, etc., after a couple of hours the amber is “reborn” and a woman, a girl, a teenager, a man begins to smell like old sweat. Even chemical treatment does not always help, so many housewives throw away such things. But in vain...

Here are some true tips from experienced Cleaners:

Lather your sweaty armpits with Antipyatin soap. Wash it in the machine.
The same thing, but with bile-based soap. Or use 72% laundry soap.
Soak the item before washing in a solution of vinegar, salt, soda, and citric acid. The proportions of solutions are described above in the recipes.
Mix aspirin powder (you need to crush the tablets) with soda. Moisten and apply this paste on your armpits.

The steam generator works well. True, not everyone has this miracle of technology.

What are the reasons?

Washing powder. The problem can be both the product itself (when reacting with water) and its concentration. Try changing the powder or using the one you already have in smaller quantities.
Washing temperature. High temperature provokes many reactions in the microcosm and contributes to the formation and consolidation of existing stains.
Protein and fat. These are components of your sebum (sebum) that react with tissue to form spots and dots.
Sweat. The main component of sweat is urea. It forms yellow marks when absorbed by clothing.

Deodorants do not reduce sweating, but only add aroma. At the same time, the cosmetic product itself reacts with sweat, which increases the formation of stains and increases their durability.

Ironing. When steam ironing, irons can often leave yellow rusty spots, indicating that the water is stagnant and it’s time to wash the iron.
Bleach. Surprisingly, it can also leave large yellow streaks on clothing. Carefully read the instructions for use of this product before use!
High water hardness is the cause of stains after washing. Hard water is a result of a high content of metal salts. You can tell that the water in your tap is very hard by the poor foaming of the soap and the deposit of limescale on the kettle or tap.
High humidity. High humidity may cause stains to appear when storing your wardrobe. Clothes should be thoroughly dried before storing them in the closet, as damp clothing is an ideal environment for mold to form. It is also necessary to sufficiently ventilate/ventilate the room so that the total air humidity in your home and closet does not exceed the norm (40-60%).

Old yellow spots

Soak contaminated items in warm water with soap and powder. Squeeze thoroughly. Treat with one of the following:

Table vinegar 9%

Table vinegar 9%. Prepare a solution: 2 parts vinegar to one part water. This method is not suitable for silk or lace.
Table vinegar 9%, vodka or alcohol. Mix one of these products with warm water in a 1:1 ratio. Pour into a spray bottle and spray, moisturizing problem areas. Do the laundry.
Vinegar 9% + baking soda. Mix water (5 tablespoons) and vinegar (2 tablespoons). Soak the stain. After an hour, sprinkle thickly with soda or dip the contaminated area in a soda solution: a glass of warm water plus 4 tablespoons of soda.
Vinegar 9% + ammonia 9% + lemon juice. Prepare a solution of vinegar and water as in the recipe above. Then wring out the item and dip the contaminated area in an ammonia solution: ammonia (1 tablespoon) plus water (200 ml). Rinse immediately. Treat the remaining stain with lemon water: lemon juice (squeeze, strain from fibers, pour 1 tablespoon) plus water (0.5 cup). Leave it to sit for 2-3 hours.

Ammonia 10%

Ammonia 10% + purified gasoline. Treat the stain with gasoline. Then soak a sponge in ammonia and thoroughly rub the sweat stain. Pay special attention to the contours of the spot. Wash with powder, adding conditioner with a good, long-lasting smell to the machine.
Ammonia 10% (or borax) + salt. Dissolve borax or ammonia (1 tsp) in a glass of water. Add salt (1 tsp) and stir well. Moisten the stains with the mixture, rub and leave for 30-40 minutes.
Ammonia 10% + denatured alcohol (or medical alcohol). Mix both of these liquids in a 1:1 ratio. Apply to fabric. Wash after 30-40 minutes. Denatured alcohol has a specific, persistent odor, so add conditioner to the water.

Useful tips

To know how to get rid of yellow spots under the arms, you need to take into account the physiological characteristics of your body.

In particular, if the smell of sweat is too pungent with very active sweating and traces that are difficult to remove, then this is a signal to consult a doctor and better monitor your own hygiene.

In order to quickly get rid of stains, you can use a number of tips.

Traces of deodorant can be removed by wiping them with vodka.
Burnt alum (usually sold in pharmacies) is able to absorb moisture and fight unpleasant odors. Similar characteristics are observed in Teimur paste, formidron and some other products.
The deodorant is applied to the surface of the skin in a thin layer.
Before getting dressed, you should wait a while so that the deodorant has time to dry - otherwise, you can add a difficult-to-remove deodorant stain to the sweat stains.

In order for clothes to last as long as possible, they need to be washed in a timely manner. This is a key rule that allows you to prevent the formation of yellow marks from sweat and all sorts of unpleasant odors on fabrics.

White mark and yellow spots on colored and black things

Black, dark or colored items require special care, as they fade easily or may lose color. How can you remove sweat stains under your arms if your clothes are made of colored fabric? Experienced housewives have come up with several excellent remedies.

Universal recipes

Lemon juice. Strain the fresh juice through a sieve. Moisten the stain and soak it with juice. Wash it after 5 minutes. Without drying the fabric, sprinkle the stained areas with oxalic acid powder. Leave for 10-15 minutes. Shake off any remaining powder. Rinse and wash the item.
Ammonia 10%. Add ammonia to the washing water at the rate of 1 teaspoon per liter of warm water.
Alcohol (or vodka). Soak a cotton pad in alcohol and wipe the stains, moving from the edges to the center. Leave it to sit for a few minutes. Wash it in the machine.
Alcohol (or vodka) + water. Mix alcohol and water in equal parts. Moisten the sweat stains with the liquid and leave for an hour and a half. Do the laundry. The alcohol solution dissolves fats well, but the fabric does not fade.
Alcohol + table salt + laundry soap 72%. It is advisable to first grate the soap, soak it with a small amount of water and stir. Add the remaining ingredients to make a paste. Apply the prepared paste to sweat marks. After 30-40 minutes, wash in a machine or by hand. This is a very powerful remedy.

White spots remain on black things

Recipes for special occasions

How to remove yellow stains in the armpits on white, colored in special cases?

For white fabrics. Soap the stains with laundry soap and wash them off. Then put the item in the machine and start washing with powder.
Woolen items. They wash well with laundry soap. It is enough to soak the item in warm soapy water for 1-1.5 hours. I recommend adding conditioner to the wash basin: it will soften the water and mask the unpleasant smell of laundry soap.
Silk. Soak the item in warm water. Then, after 15-20 minutes, treat with salt water. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes, rinse and wash the entire item.
Linen and cotton. Mix fine salt and ammonia in a 1:1 ratio. Apply to stain. Wash after 15-20 minutes.

The same recipes will help remove yellow and white sweat stains from both dark and colored clothes at home.

What to do if yellow spots appear on white clothes after washing

Yellow spots appear both on things that are worn regularly and on clothes that have been lying in the closet for a certain time. Therefore, there are many reasons for the appearance of unaesthetic marks on fabric:

sweating;
secretion of sebum;
use of low-quality hygiene products, including deodorants;
applying a greasy cream that is poorly absorbed shortly before going out;
perfume getting on fabric;
non-compliance with temperature conditions when washing;
use of low-quality detergents;
untimely washing;
detergent residues on the fabric due to insufficient rinsing;
drying in direct sunlight
pollution;
long-term storage;
high humidity in the room where things are stored.

Yellow stains on clothes may appear even after washing. This happens for several reasons:

use of low-quality detergents;
improper use of laundry detergents, especially bleaches;
poor rinsing of items after washing;
using excessive amounts of powder;
hard water;
high temperature conditions.

There are several ways to get rid of pollution.

Additionally, wash items with oxygen bleach. This is especially true if yellow spots appear after washing at a high temperature.
Mix 1 tsp. hydrogen peroxide and water. Apply the mixture to the stains, leave for 15-20 minutes and rinse.
Dilute in 1 liter. water 2 tbsp. l. salt. Soak the items for an hour and wash as usual.
Moisten the contaminated area with a 9% vinegar solution and rub with laundry soap. Leave for 20 minutes and wash.

White items require special care. To preserve the original appearance for a long time, you must follow certain rules:

Make sure that detergents are completely dissolved in water;
do not wash white items at the highest temperature setting;
rinse things thoroughly to remove any remaining powder and other detergents;
use water softeners;
periodically dry things that have been stored in the closet for a long time;
try to wash clothes as they become dirty;
Avoid products with chlorine, otherwise sweat stains may darken more;
Avoid deodorants containing aluminum.

Clothes of light and dark shades get dirty equally, but on black and colored fabrics the dirt is not so noticeable.

Following care instructions, timely washing and proper storage of white items will reduce the likelihood of yellow stains appearing. However, it is not always possible to avoid contamination, and then traditional methods and household chemicals come to the rescue. If you wash things in time, yellow stains will easily come off the fabric.

In order to clean clothes from traces of deodorant and not spoil the item, pay attention to the composition and color of the fabric.

Wipe fresh white traces of deodorant on any fabric with vodka.
Wash soiled synthetic items in cool water with laundry soap.
Use shampoo to clean delicate fabrics.
Remove stains on woolen and knitted items with table vinegar.

White bed linen is preferred by most housewives. It always looks beautiful on

any bed. However, unpleasant yellow spots can ruin the whole set. To effectively combat them, you will need available tools and a little time.

Wash at low temperature – no more than 30 °C. In this case, powders are used that are intended for washing white clothes, or better yet, washing gels. Bleach is added to the powder. You can use hydrogen peroxide, which you generously pour over the stains and only then start the wash.
White bed linen can also be placed in a solution of Whiteness with water for 2 hours. After this, it must be washed in automatic mode and rinsed several times.
Silk linen is washed with a soda solution - mix a teaspoon with 100 ml of warm water and let it cool. The solution is applied to the stain and left on it for about an hour. After this, you need to manually wash the laundry and rinse it several times.

It is impossible to give an exact answer to the question of why yellow spots appear on white fabric. However, a number of factors can be identified that contribute to the formation of yellowness:

Sweating. Sweat contains large quantities of urea, which forms a yellow “sediment” that is especially noticeable on white things.
Use of deodorants. Cosmetics can combat the odor of sweat, but do not prevent its formation. Particles of sweat, combining with substances included in deodorants, contribute to the appearance of stains.
Long-term storage. Traces of yellow color appear on white things that have been lying in the closet or on the mezzanine for a long time. Such defects are not easy to remove; you will have to put in a lot of effort.
Increased air humidity. If the air in the room where the clothes are located is too humid, this can cause the appearance of the white fabric to change.
Composition of washing powder and its concentration. Sometimes it is enough to change the detergent, or not use it as much, and the problem of yellow spots will disappear by itself.
Whitening products. Bleach often causes yellow stains to appear on white clothes. This occurs when this product is used incorrectly or due to the chlorine content in it.
Wash in hot water. It is not recommended to wash most materials in hot water; this leads to the fact that not only the existing dirt “eats” into the fibers more strongly, but also unnecessary yellowness appears.
Highly hard water. Metal salts give water hardness, and the more of them it contains, the harder the water. If these substances come into contact with fabric in large quantities, yellow spots may also appear.
Using steam irons. You can often find yellow or rust marks on a white T-shirt or bed linen immediately after they have been ironed. This happens in cases where the owner neglects to clean the iron and rust accumulates inside it.

These factors contribute to the appearance of persistent stains on white items. However, if you find stains on your favorite T-shirt, blouse, bed linen or white panties, do not despair. There are many ways to remove yellow spots.

Chemistry lesson: You probably remember from school that when soda reacts with acetic acid, carbonic acid is formed (it is unstable, so it quickly breaks down into carbon dioxide and water). That is. at a visible level we observe a rapid release of gas.

Give the cleaner time! No matter how much you would like to quickly find yourself in your favorite sweater, be patient - you need to leave the cleaning product on for a while (the number of hours depends on the degree and duration of the contamination: the process of discoloration of the yellow spot can take from an hour to half a day).

Sweaty baseball cap

During the summer holidays, riding bicycles and skateboards, beautiful elegant baseball caps acquire a yellow mark on the lining and even the visor. Frame hats are hand washed only. The machine, and especially the spin cycle, will ruin your favorite thing forever. Sweat, traces of salt, and stubborn dust are washed off as follows:

Remove all hair, fluff, and dust from the surface of the headdress using a sticky roller for clothes, a brush, or tape.
Soak the cap in water at room temperature (if it is colored) or in warm water (if the baseball cap is white, without colored inserts). After an hour and a half, when the water molecules “loose” the dirt, rub the dirt with a soft brush or sponge. A brush or sponge can be lightly soaped.
Now the fabric needs to be gently but thoroughly rinsed, placed on a three-liter jar placed upside down (to maintain its shape), and dried.
Stubborn sweat stains are removed with ammonia. Mix ammonia (3 parts) and water (2 parts). Soak a cotton swab in the solution and rub the dirt. Rinse the cap in clean warm water.

Your favorite baseball cap will decorate your head for as long as you want

Multi-colored baseball cap that may fade

But most often bright labels are sewn onto baseball caps and inserts are made. Such “hats” also need to be washed in a special way:

Pour water at room temperature into a basin. Add a good powder (Persil, Ariel - these are the products that experienced skaters recommend). Make sure the blue granules dissolve.
Place your cap in the basin. Leave for 15-20 minutes.
If necessary, gently scrub the contaminated areas with a soft sponge.
Rinse the cap in cool water.
Dry in a three-liter jar.

The most radical but effective way

The most effective method of getting rid of yellow marks is boiling.

. However, only cotton and linen fabrics can withstand such “execution”. Items containing synthetic fibers should absolutely not be boiled.

The contaminated item is first thickly sprinkled with grated brown soap or lathered, placed in a tank or large household pan and heated to a boil. Then reduce the heat and keep it on the stove for about half an hour.

The boiled laundry is allowed to cool and rinsed. Typically, very dirty white towels, bed linen and old clothes are washed this way.

How to remove old sweat stains

How to sew underarm pads

Armpits are sewn from natural white or light beige fabrics: cotton, silk. Or they choose the color of the pad to match the color of the back of the garment: for example, for a jacket with a black lining, black pads are suitable (they will be more invisible this way). But at the same time, colored linings can fade onto a lighter blouse. Therefore, it is better to attach the armpits to underwear.

We will use this pattern:

The underarm pad has a crescent shape.
Cut out two parts with scissors (2 small “crescents” and 2 large ones) - this is the “cover” of our armpits.
Think about what density suits you? For thin blouses, put 1-2 crescents cut from thin fabric inside the “cover”. For thicker items, you can safely add 3-4 inner layers. The internal parts of the gasket are made of good adsorbents: flannel, knitwear.
Collect and sweep away the crescent moons individually. Sew along the outer edge of the “circle”. Turn it inside out, straighten the outer edge of the crescent and iron it.
Connect both crescents (both small and large) along the inner radius. Baste first, then stitch.
Sew to the armhole with a simple seam, positioning it like this: a wide crescent lies on the body side, a narrow one on the sleeve side. The inner seam-fold of the lining sits astride the armhole, hanging the narrow end into the sleeve and the wide end toward the body.
Armpits are washed separately or together with the item.

Underarm pads are worn only once and then washed. Otherwise, all the sweat accumulated during the day will create an indescribable aroma the next day.

The armpit seems to “sit” on the armhole

Underarm pads will save your jacket and other warm clothes from the smell of sweat. And the housewife should avoid washing heavy items because of the “amber” if it is clean on the outside.

Underarm pads made from pads for “these” days

You will need a wide gasket for “these” days.
Fold it in half (without removing the protective stickers).
Cut out notches in the middle so that the unfolded gasket looks like a figure eight.
Remove the protective stickers and stick the pad to your clothing. The narrow part of the “eight” fits on the armhole.

Instead of a wide pad, you can glue one or two daily ones. Then cutting out the figure eight will not be necessary.

What products can be used for colored items?

With colored and black clothes the situation is more complicated; not many products are suitable for such things. However, it is possible to remove stains; for this they use:

laundry soap;
a combination of ammonia and white spirit;
salt and soda (solution in a 1:1 ratio);

You can also use acetylsalicylic acid, but you cannot keep it on colored fabric for as long as on white fabric. Limit yourself to 2-3 minutes, as this medication has a whitening effect.

Sweat secretions, which contain salts and various organic substances, are mixed with antiperspirants and literally eat into the structure of the tissue. Therefore, you need to deal with stains without delay. By throwing wet clothes into the dirty laundry basket, the owner allows the formations to soak into the fabric. In this case, after a few days it will be difficult to remove traces of deodorant. It is even more difficult to eliminate yellowness by wearing the T-shirt repeatedly, for example, for training in the morning and evening without regular washing. The yellowness will stain the fabric and eat into the fibers; it will be extremely difficult to remove traces from the textile.

What to do if sweat stains are ingrained and cannot be washed off?

Despite the fact that the proposed options are effective, in some cases it is necessary to wash stains under the arms more than once. What to use to remove particularly stubborn stains: aggressive solvents:

Apply table vinegar diluted by a third to the treatment area for 2 minutes, then wash off;
Apply vodka without additives to all problem areas, rinse after 15-20 minutes;
for 1 tbsp. l. citric acid or fresh lemon juice, take no more than 0.5 tbsp. warm water, pour the mixture onto the sweat stain, wait 15 minutes, wash.

Advice! If the yellow spots under the armpits have not been washed off, nothing helps, feel free to take “Whiteness” (0.5 tbsp.), 10 ml. denatured alcohol Mix, apply to problem areas for 2 minutes and wash thoroughly. The method is suitable for white items made from natural fabrics.
