Sweating is a normal bodily function that can leave stains on the underarms of your clothes. Deodorants and antiperspirants are not guaranteed to stop perspiration, and in fact, antiperspirant-containing deodorants actually cause yellow underarm sweat stains when they combine with your sweat.
If these stains are not treated quickly, they may become stiff and dark. Removing underarm sweat stains after they have been laundered and set in the fabric is more difficult than treating them before they set in. Fortunately, you can remove sweat stains from clothing with some natural remedies found around the house.
Wear antiperspirant to stop sweating
Make sure you are using an antiperspirant, not just a deodorant. Be sure, also, that you are not applying too much antiperspirant, thinking that the more you use the better it will work. A thin layer is all you need to do the job. Though unsightly, perspiration on your clothing is not the cause of sweat stains--your antiperspirant is. It transfers onto your clothing.
Then when the clothing gets wet from sweating, the antiperspirant sets into the garment, creating a noticeable mark. This is especially true if you have applied too much of the product.
Remove the covering of the adhesive backing to these disposable pads, and place it in the underarm of your shirt. The pad will absorb any perspiration that your antiperspirant lets sneak through.
Aspirin is more than just the cure for a headache; it can save your favorite shirts from ruin due sweat stains. The salicylic acid in the aspirin attacks the urea from the sweat and loosens it. Crush two aspirin and mix with 1/2 cup warm water in a tub or sink that will hold the shirt. When the aspirin melts, it is ready for the shirt. Soak the stained portion of the garment in this solution for two or three hours. Launder according to the instructions. Check the underarm before drying and repeat if necessary.
Wash your clothes
Rinse your white shirt in cold water before putting it in the washing machine. A prerinse in plain water removes any antiperspirant residue that might later cause a yellowish armpit stain to set during a normal washing cycle.
Lemon juice is an ideal cleaner around the house and can be safely used in the laundry room as well. The smell is delightful and the acidic properties of the juice break down the enzymes in sweat to wash out the stain. Cut a lemon in half and squeeze the juice into a cup. Add an equal amount of water.
You can now use a sponge or laundry brush to treat the underarm stain. Pour the remaining lemon juice mixture into the washing machine with the garment and launder normally. Not only will your shirt be clean, but the lemon will remove the odor as well
Salt is useful for very stubborn yellow stains. Dissolve 4 tablespoons salt in 1 quart hot water. Scrub the stained area using the saltwater solution.
Keep repeating this until the stain disappears. The salt will also eliminate the sweaty odor as it is cleaning the stain. Once the stain is gone, launder normally.
