How do u avoid sweat stains?


Question:i use deoderant but the sweat stains still appear, ever deodarent i use its like tht but it doesnt smell

Answers:
. A mixture of 1 tbsp of vinegar in half a cup of water sponged onto the stain will usually restore the colour and also remove any perspiration odours. Fresh lemon juice rubbed into the stain can also be used, or an enzyme pre-soak product before washing as usual - however, do not use this on delicate fabrics like linen, silk and wool.

If the stain is persistent, try using a paste of baking soda and water which is rubbed onto the stain and allowed to sit for 15-20mins, before the garment is washed as normal. Some baking soda added to the wash cycle can also help to remove any persistent odours.

Never use bleach on a perspiration stain, especially on white cotton fabrics. The bleach will react chemically with the proteins in sweat and cause the stain to set even darker! Similarly, never iron or put a stained garment in the dryer - any heat will set the stain permanently. Generally when washing with detergent, do not dry the garment until the stain is gone. (Choose a detergent which is labelled as having oxygenated powers or works on protein-based stains.)

Unfortunately, if the stain is very old and the garment has already been washed and dried several times, then the stain will be "burned" into the fabric and there is very little chance of removing it. In reality, the best solution for perspiration stains is to use preventative measures, such as an effective deodorant or using good underwear to protect the outer garment. Take extra care when wearing delicate fabrics, such as silks, in a situation where you know you might perspire heavily.

For clothing which needs to be dry-cleaned, it is best to leave it to the experts


sit very still and do not move.
my doctor told me to only use unscented - and it worked right away- wear a white shirt -you'll see 2 - he suggested ban roll on unscented
I'd talk to my doctor.
