Can Scotchguard prevent ring around the collar on men's dress shirts?
Question:If I spray the inside collar of a new 100% cotton dress shirt before using it, will the Scotchguard prevent sweat stains (i.e., "ring-around-the-collar")?
Answers:
actually if you put some powder or corn startch on your NECK before you wear the shirt, it will prevent stains on your shirt collars...also using Shout, Clorox Oxy Stain remover BEFORE you wash your shirts will take the stains off...(if they're white shirts...get some RIT color remover or whitener at the store...comes in a little box or bottle in the laundry isle usually.)
what scotchgaurd does is it prevents stains from being absorbed into a fabric. while the sweat stains may occur cleaning the shirt should take them out.So yes it would work, however, washing the shirt will also remove the scotchgaurd as well, you would have to retreat the shirt after every wash.
I'm not sure about the Scotchguard preventing the stain, but I have a tip about getting the stains out once they are there. Use shampoo in your wash, along with the regular laundry detergent. You can apply a little bit right to the collar of the shirt, and then wash as normal.
The shampoo will work by taking out the oils your body produces when it sweats, and taking out the dirt with them. (same way it works in the shower on your hair.)
