Traces of perspiration and deodorant on your white shirts or t-shirts can ruin the garment. Fortunately, there are miracle products to make your clothes look like new and remove those unsightly stains!
Long acclaimed for whitening clothing, bleach is unfortunately not the best product for removing yellow stains from perspiration. On the contrary, it could make your garment completely yellow. Forget this product. You will also often find that baking soda is a good product for staining clothes. Although it removes many stains, it is unfortunately ineffective for bleaching laundry. Prefer sodium percarbonate, a really effective natural whitening product.
How to use it ? Put very hot water in a basin with two tablespoons of percarbonate of soda. Let your garment soak for several hours and machine wash it ideally at 60 degrees. You can also use 70 degree alcohol to loosen your white t-shirts. The limit of this solution is that it only works for white and non-fragile laundry. Fortunately, we have found solutions for your fragile clothes or your colored clothes.
For your fragile white clothes, lemon will be your ally. Soak a cloth in lemon juice diluted with water (half and half) and gently dab the stain. Let your garment air dry and put it in the washing machine on the usual program.
For your colored clothes, you can try several solutions. Here are two that have proven themselves:
- Aspirin: In a basin of hot water, melt two aspirin tablets. Soak the garment for 2 or 3 hours and put it in the washing machine.
- Baking soda: Form a paste by mixing baking soda with a little water. Rub the preparation on the perspiration stain and leave to act for two hours before putting the garment in the washing machine.
