Almost everyone knows the problem: sweat stains on clothing, which are often difficult to wash out. Especially on white shirts or light clothing, yellowish discolorations quickly appear. But dark fabrics are not spared either – here, light edges often remain. In this article, you will learn how to effectively remove sweat stains, which home remedies help, and how you can prevent the formation of sweat stains in the long term with odaban®.
Why do sweat stains occur at all?
Sweat itself is colorless. The unsightly stains occur when sweat reacts with bacteria and often also with deo ingredients (e.g., aluminum salts). This causes the fabric to discolor – usually yellowish on light clothing and whitish on dark clothing.
Removing sweat stains – the best tips
1. Treat Immediately
The longer a sweat stain sets, the harder it is to remove. Therefore, wash clothes as soon as possible.
2. Vinegar & Citric Acid
-
Vinegar essence (diluted with water) is good against yellow stains.
-
Citric acid can brighten light fabrics again. Simply let it work before washing.
3. Baking Powder or Baking Soda
A real home remedy: mix with water to form a paste, apply to the stains, let sit briefly, then wash.
4. Salt Solution
Mix salt with warm water, soak the stains, and then wash normally.
5. Gall Soap
For stubborn sweat rings, gall soap is a classic that removes stains and neutralizes odors.
