Whether we like it or not, sweating is a natural function of the human body. Physically, sweating is a good thing because it helps rid your body of toxins and is a natural way to lower your body temperature when you’re hot. However, if you sweat profusely while wearing a shirt with sleeves, you’ll notice an unpleasant grey or yellow/green stain form in your armpit area. If you don’t treat these stains properly, you either have to make an effort to keep your hands at your sides, discard your shirts and buy new ones, or suffer embarrassment every time you lift your hands.
Fortunately, there are a number of ways you can remove sweat stains from your clothing and keep your clothes looking new and fresh.
A sweat stain is identifiable by the yellow or greenish tint on your clothing. It is created from a combination of the bacteria, protein and toxins in your sweat that are left behind on your shirt when the sweat dries.
For colored shirts, mix together two tablespoons of white vinegar in one cup of water. Apply the mixture directly to the stain with a toothbrush and let it sit for about 20 minutes.
For white shirts, create a mixture of half hydrogen peroxide and half water. The hydrogen peroxide breaks up the proteins of the sweat left behind on your shirt, which creates the stain. Let the stains soak in this solution for about 20 minutes before washing.
You can also break apart three ASPIRIN® tablets into two or more tablespoons of water and create a solution to brush onto your armpit stains, or you can create a solution of baking soda and water.
