How do I get sweat stains out of a silk shirt?

Question

The shirt is washable.

Answer 1

Sweat is natural, it's really just water and salt. Just washing the shirt as directed on the lable should do it.

Just to be extra safe - wash the shirt and then let it hang to dry and see if the stains are gone. If not then move on to trying to wash/soak it in woolite or another gentle detergent.

Since the shirt is already washable, it will be easier to get out the stains than you probably think.

Good Luck!

Answer 2

Hi,

I'm sorry to hear about your sweaty pits! I had the same thing happen on my t-shirts with bad sweat marks (I think it's the deoderant)! I surfed the net like a mad woman, but nothing worked. I finally tried the colorox bleach pen. It took the stain right out!

I paid about $4.50 for mine, but I was surfing the freebies today and I saw a link to get one for free!

Answer 3

Women used to wear garment pads, they protected their clothing from persperation. This was up until the 70's, when women decided that deoderant was sufficient protection and most clothing became disposable, not cared for and worn season after season.

I was a bit young for them but my mother and her women complained bitterly when they disappeared from the market.

I would pay double to protect some of my finer things if these pads were available today.

Answer 5

Mix poroxide and water, and let the stain soak in it. It should get rid of the stain, or lessen the effect.
