Got a linen dress dry cleaned but still have perspiration stains. Since the dress is probably a goner anyways, is there anything I can try to remove the stains.

Perspiration
Sponge fresh stain with ammonia; old stain with vinegar. Pre-soak in cold or warm water. Rinse. Wash in hottest water safe for fabric. If fabric is yellowed, use bleach. If stain still remains, dampen and sprinkle with meat tenderizer, or pepsin. Let stand 1 hour. Brush off and wash. For persistent odor, sponge with colorless mouthwash.
Good Luck !

I can suggest this, Turn the dress inside out, now soak in cold water. You need to buy some good old fashioned soap bar, soap.( Natural Soap). You can find this in most hardware stores. Remove the dress from the water, rub the soap into the stains. Leaving the soap on and free from water, say 1/2 hr. Back to the water, give a gentle rub to the stains. Rub in more soap. give another rub to the stains. Rinse the dress well, Now hang outside in the sun still inside out. The sun will bleach out the remaining stains the natural way. and by using cold water this will stop the lining of the dress from shrinking

I hear that regular shampoo works for that, it is made to cut the natural oils of your body.
