Is there anything I can do/use to remove underarm stains?

Question

I work out at the gym, and I wear a white wife beater because I sweat, and I hate wearing t-shirts. However, after a while, under arm stains appear and I tried bleaching them, but it doesn't work. Is there anything else I can do?

Answer 1

First, soak the garment in a solution of 1 gallon warm water and 1 cup distilled white vinegar for two hours. The vinegar helps to neutralize the stain-causing chemicals. Wring out the shirt, rub liquid laundry detergent into the stain, and launder in the hottest water allowed for the fabric, adding 1/4 cup of baking soda to the wash. The hot water activates the detergent, and the baking soda gives your clothes a clean, fresh scent. After washing, air dry. If any discoloration still remains, treat the stain again using the same method.

Often you can prevent underarm stains by washing clothing promptly to remove perspiration and antiperspirant residues, or by, sponging diluted vinegar onto the affected area. Avoid ironing a stained garment or putting it in the dryer until you've treated it because heat sets stains.

What's a wife beater? lol

Anyways you could try this.. wet the stains and pour on a small amount of either stain remover or liquid detergent. Rub vigourously and leave for about 10 minutes. Then add to your normal wash. Do NOT let the detergent dry.

Wow, that is disgusting and very sad. If you're not getting as many clients, being a working girl and all, then why can't you go to the laundromat? Maybe you should get off yahoo answers and go to the laundromat. I'm a single mother as well, and money is also tight. But you can bet my daughter is my first priority. I don't have much time, but my baby always has clean clothes, even before I do if need be. It sickens me that poor children have you for a "mother".

Answer 4

My friend always had a problem with yellow underarm stains on her white uniform blouses, so she would soak them overnight in white vinegar and water.

Cant hurt to try it.
