Preventing yellow stains from sweat on clothes

How to remove yellow sweat stains from white and colored synthetic clothing? Artificial fabrics are distinguished by their unusual texture, beautiful pattern, and fibers, while cotton or wool look too traditional. Nevertheless, it will be appropriate both for the body and for the prevention of yellow spots if you wear natural things made of cotton, linen, and wool in the heat.

  1. Linen, cotton and wool allow sweat to evaporate freely from the body without accumulating.
  2. After using antiperspirant, wait until the product dries. Or use a deodorant that dries instantly, such as an aerosol.
  3. Don't apply too much antiperspirant: firstly, when there is too much of it, it clogs the sweat ducts and pores. But the armpits are called the second kidneys of a person! Second, deodorant builds up on clothing and is difficult to remove when washing, resulting in permanent yellow stains.
  4. Avoid antiperspirants that contain aluminum salts (the instructions say: aluminum chloride, aluminum chloride, aluminum chlorohydrate. In Latin: aluminum chlorohydrate, aluminum chloride, AlCl3).
  5. Timely shaving of the armpits saves from the accumulation of sweat and odor (hair very actively adsorbs liquid).
  6. To remove sweat stains, do not use chlorine or products containing it (“Whiteness”, etc.). This treatment will cause the spots to darken, turning from yellow to brown.
  7. Do not iron those places where there are yellow spots on the fabric: the iron will finally fix the “color”, which will then be very difficult to remove.


Yellow spots in the armpits from sweat form for several reasons...
If you suffer from hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), you can use special underarm pads that will absorb sweat and protect your clothes. I also advise you to wear thin underwear under your formal clothes that covers your armpits: a T-shirt, shirt, etc.

Unfortunately, underarm pads are expensive. If you're used to saving money, but don't want to stay sweaty, sew several pairs of these armpit pads yourself. You will read about how to do this at the end of the article. By the way, homemade pads are a godsend for allergy sufferers who cannot use ready-made products from cosmetic stores.

And 5 more tips

To prevent sweat gland secretions or deodorant stains from ruining your clothes, you need to adhere to the following five recommendations.

  1. Avoid chlorine. You should not use chlorine-containing bleaches - by reacting with the secretion of the sweat glands, they will turn yellow spots into dark gray.
  2. Test the product. When choosing a stain removal method, you must first try the product on an inconspicuous area of ​​the product. This will eliminate the possibility of damage and discoloration of clothing.
  3. Be careful with the sun. Usually, after bleaching, it is even recommended to dry white clothes in the sun. But if you used peroxide, you should not do this, as yellowness may appear.
  4. Work from the inside out. The stains will still come off, but there will definitely be no streaks on the front side.
  5. Choose the “right” deodorant. Products containing aluminum chloride leave permanent marks on laundry.

If you didn’t succeed in removing stains from sweat and deodorant under the arms on outerwear or expensive items the first time, stop experimenting. In this case, it is better to contact a dry cleaner.

Preventing Excessive Sweating

  1. Try to shower twice a day. The body must be washed until it is squeaky clean and wiped dry - this is an important condition.
  2. Smoking, alcohol, salty, fried, spicy and hot foods provoke increased sweating. Really.
  3. Are you nervous? Take something calming - stress makes you sweat more than usual.
  4. In the morning after a shower, treat clean armpits with formidron, urotropine, Teymurov's paste, soda solution, burnt alum. All of these are products that reduce sweat production - at the same time they will rid things of potential stains.
  5. Wear natural clothes. Synthetics create a greenhouse effect, sweat evaporates worse, accumulates on the body, and is absorbed into clothing. Eco-friendly fabrics will help you always be fresh.

How to Remove Stains from Delicate Fabrics

Care must be taken when handling delicate materials. They need special care and are easy to harm. Synthetic items are the easiest to remove stains, including those caused by sweating. In addition, it is easier to remove stains from such materials due to the fact that contaminants do not penetrate deep into the fibers. For denim items, it is recommended to use salt, and for natural materials like cotton or linen, laundry soap is suitable.


Laundry soap removes sweat stains.

Delicate fabrics include silk, viscose, and wool. If traces of sweat appear on them, it is recommended to use peroxide, laundry soap or salt to get rid of them. You can also use glycerin.


Deodorant stains are also difficult to remove.

It is worth noting that stubborn stains are quite difficult to remove from natural fibers. Sometimes it is necessary to repeat the procedure several times. Therefore, if sweat marks are detected, it is recommended to immediately begin getting rid of them.


White marks appear when deodorant that has not yet dried comes into contact with clothing.

Soda is suitable for lace underwear. It will not spoil the lace and effectively cope with stains. It is worth remembering that peroxide is only suitable for light-colored things.

What to do if yellow spots appear on white clothes after washing

Yellow spots appear both on things that are worn regularly and on clothes that have been lying in the closet for a certain time. Therefore, there are many reasons for the appearance of unaesthetic marks on fabric:

  • sweating;
  • secretion of sebum;
  • use of low-quality hygiene products, including deodorants;
  • applying a greasy cream that is poorly absorbed shortly before going out;
  • perfume getting on fabric;
  • non-compliance with temperature conditions when washing;
  • use of low-quality detergents;
  • untimely washing;
  • detergent residues on the fabric due to insufficient rinsing;
  • drying in direct sunlight
  • pollution;
  • long-term storage;
  • high humidity in the room where things are stored.

Yellow stains on clothes may appear even after washing. This happens for several reasons:

  • use of low-quality detergents;
  • improper use of laundry detergents, especially bleaches;
  • poor rinsing of items after washing;
  • using excessive amounts of powder;
  • hard water;
  • high temperature conditions.

There are several ways to get rid of pollution.

  1. Additionally, wash items with oxygen bleach. This is especially true if yellow spots appear after washing at a high temperature.
  2. Mix 1 tsp. hydrogen peroxide and water. Apply the mixture to the stains, leave for 15-20 minutes and rinse.
  3. Dilute in 1 liter. water 2 tbsp. l. salt. Soak the items for an hour and wash as usual.
  4. Moisten the contaminated area with a 9% vinegar solution and rub with laundry soap. Leave for 20 minutes and wash.

White items require special care. To preserve the original appearance for a long time, you must follow certain rules:

  • Make sure that detergents are completely dissolved in water;
  • do not wash white items at the highest temperature setting;
  • rinse things thoroughly to remove any remaining powder and other detergents;
  • use water softeners;
  • periodically dry things that have been stored in the closet for a long time;
  • try to wash clothes as they become dirty;
  • Avoid products with chlorine, otherwise sweat stains may darken more;
  • Avoid deodorants containing aluminum.

Clothes of light and dark shades get dirty equally, but on black and colored fabrics the dirt is not so noticeable.

Following care instructions, timely washing and proper storage of white items will reduce the likelihood of yellow stains appearing. However, it is not always possible to avoid contamination, and then traditional methods and household chemicals come to the rescue. If you wash things in time, yellow stains will easily come off the fabric.

In order to clean clothes from traces of deodorant and not spoil the item, pay attention to the composition and color of the fabric.

  • Wipe fresh white traces of deodorant on any fabric with vodka.
  • Wash soiled synthetic items in cool water with laundry soap.
  • Use shampoo to clean delicate fabrics.
  • Remove stains on woolen and knitted items with table vinegar.

White bed linen is preferred by most housewives. It always looks beautiful on

any bed. However, unpleasant yellow spots can ruin the whole set. To effectively combat them, you will need available tools and a little time.

  1. Wash at low temperature – no more than 30 °C. In this case, powders are used that are intended for washing white clothes, or better yet, washing gels. Bleach is added to the powder. You can use hydrogen peroxide, which you generously pour over the stains and only then start the wash.
  2. White bed linen can also be placed in a solution of Whiteness with water for 2 hours. After this, it must be washed in automatic mode and rinsed several times.
  3. Silk linen is washed with a soda solution - mix a teaspoon with 100 ml of warm water and let it cool. The solution is applied to the stain and left on it for about an hour. After this, you need to manually wash the laundry and rinse it several times.

It is impossible to give an exact answer to the question of why yellow spots appear on white fabric. However, a number of factors can be identified that contribute to the formation of yellowness:

  • Sweating. Sweat contains large quantities of urea, which forms a yellow “sediment” that is especially noticeable on white things.
  • Use of deodorants. Cosmetics can combat the odor of sweat, but do not prevent its formation. Particles of sweat, combining with substances included in deodorants, contribute to the appearance of stains.
  • Long-term storage. Traces of yellow color appear on white things that have been lying in the closet or on the mezzanine for a long time. Such defects are not easy to remove; you will have to put in a lot of effort.
  • Increased air humidity. If the air in the room where the clothes are located is too humid, this can cause the appearance of the white fabric to change.
  • Composition of washing powder and its concentration. Sometimes it is enough to change the detergent, or not use it as much, and the problem of yellow spots will disappear by itself.
  • Whitening products. Bleach often causes yellow stains to appear on white clothes. This occurs when this product is used incorrectly or due to the chlorine content in it.
  • Wash in hot water. It is not recommended to wash most materials in hot water; this leads to the fact that not only the existing dirt “eats” into the fibers more strongly, but also unnecessary yellowness appears.
  • Highly hard water. Metal salts give water hardness, and the more of them it contains, the harder the water. If these substances come into contact with fabric in large quantities, yellow spots may also appear.
  • Using steam irons. You can often find yellow or rust marks on a white T-shirt or bed linen immediately after they have been ironed. This happens in cases where the owner neglects to clean the iron and rust accumulates inside it.

These factors contribute to the appearance of persistent stains on white items. However, if you find stains on your favorite T-shirt, blouse, bed linen or white panties, do not despair. There are many ways to remove yellow spots.

Armpits are sewn from natural white or light beige fabrics: cotton, silk. Or they choose the color of the pad to match the color of the back of the garment: for example, for a jacket with a black lining, black pads are suitable (they will be more invisible this way).

We will use this pattern:

  1. The underarm pad has a crescent shape.
  2. Cut out two parts with scissors (2 small “crescents” and 2 large ones) - this is the “cover” of our armpits.
  3. Think about what density suits you? For thin blouses, put 1-2 crescents cut from thin fabric inside the “cover”. For thicker items, you can safely add 3-4 inner layers. The internal parts of the gasket are made of good adsorbents: flannel, knitwear.
  4. Collect and sweep away the crescent moons individually. Sew along the outer edge of the “circle”. Turn it inside out, straighten the outer edge of the crescent and iron it.
  5. Connect both crescents (both small and large) along the inner radius. Baste first, then stitch.
  6. Sew to the armhole with a simple seam, positioning it like this: a wide crescent lies on the body side, a narrow one on the sleeve side. The inner seam-fold of the lining sits astride the armhole, hanging the narrow end into the sleeve and the wide end toward the body.
  7. Armpits are washed separately or together with the item.

Underarm pads are worn only once and then washed. Otherwise, all the sweat accumulated during the day will create an indescribable aroma the next day.


The armpit seems to “sit” on the armhole

Underarm pads will save your jacket and other warm clothes from the smell of sweat. And the housewife should avoid washing heavy items because of the “amber” if it is clean on the outside.

Underarm pads made from pads for “these” days

  1. You will need a wide gasket for “these” days.
  2. Fold it in half (without removing the protective stickers).
  3. Cut out notches in the middle so that the unfolded gasket looks like a figure eight.
  4. Remove the protective stickers and stick the pad to your clothing. The narrow part of the “eight” fits on the armhole.

Instead of a wide pad, you can glue one or two daily ones. Then cutting out the figure eight will not be necessary.

So…
