How do you prevent or get rid of armpit stains in white undershirts?
Question:
Answers:
prevention: wear a strong deodorant, change them frequently, the shirts i mean
cleaning: if cotton, put some hot water in washer, some detergent, and bleach (dont use to much, about a half cup) mix that all up, add the shirts, let them mix a minute, then turn washer off and let sit for about half hour, turn it back on, finish washing, then do an extra rinse
you also can put them in the sink, mixing up the ingredients, adding the shirts, and let them soak, then finish washing
Change your diet. A different color usually means that you are eating something odd.
Also, deoderant
scrub it real hard with soap
bleach
Hmm, bleach? Get a different deodorant?
don't wear white
GEE idk, in the first place use DEOtERANt
Soak with water and vinegar. If it's still there pour vinegar directly on the stain and leave for about an hour or so and then rub the area with laundry soap till it comes off.
deodorant with anti-persperant, and start wearing wife beaters.
well you could wear deoderant
If adding bleach to your washing machine when doing laundry doesn't work, just buy more undershirts.
dude take your vitamins and lots of water and were some deodorant
get rid of them by using bleach and then washing in hot water. also, i'd venture a guess that you may be taking some type of fish oil or omega 3 supplement. i've heard this can cause your sweat to turn a slightly yellow color.
what i use that works like really good for a while
is
dove deoderant
it really works try it
How can so many people not know about this? I know you use deoderant because that is what causes the staining! You need to wash on cold instead of on hot. You can also try a product called oxyclean to fix your existing problems.
I have the same problem with mine. I have to wear them under my uniform.
Use 1 cup of vinegar before you wear them and then 1 cup every time you wash them.
The vinegar will react with the salt in the sweat stain and should make it less visible. However mine haven't completely come out.
Baking soda works great too, just can't use the two together. (science class).
Stains are from sweat. Don't put the shirts in the dryer because that causes these stains to set. Someone suggested using Awesome from the Dollar Tree (diluted) it seems to work well. I personally like OxiClean.
oxy clean
This the best way I know. With good old fashioned soap bar soap, ( natural soap). Soak your stained shirt in cold water, remove from the water & rub the soap into the stains. Leave the shirt free from water , leave the soap on for about 1/2 hr, back to the water give a rub to the stains. Now add more soap pop into your machine adding your normal washing detergent on a 40ºc wash. Next hang your shirt outside in the sun. The sun will bleach out any remaining stains the natural way.
You can bleach them out.
With a laundry stain remover. Spray and wash.
