8 Summer Beauty Bummers -- SolvedQuickly conquer all the ouches, itches and ews that come with hot, sticky weather |
Gross sweat stains on your favorite white and pastel shirts Crisp, clean white is the color of choice this summer. Any other time of the year, we're more concerned about wine or spaghetti sauce spills on our favorite tee or LWD (little white dress). But once summer rolls around, there's another stain at play that our trusty stain-remover pen can't blot out: sweat stains.
Ironically, experts believe it's the sweat-stopping aluminum in antiperspirants that creates the telltale yellow pit stains. You can swap your antiperspirant for a natural deodorant, which may solve the staining issue, but not the sweating one. At the end of the day, you're going to end up with some perspiration on your clothing, so your best bet is to focus on how to remove inevitable stains.
Wash your clothing immediately after wearing them. Run water over the stained area, then slather a paste of baking soda and warm water over it. Let the paste sit for 30 minutes to an hour, then rinse and machine wash as usual. If it the stain doesn't budge, try submerging the article in a shallow bowl containing crushed aspirin and warm water. Let it sit for two to three hours, then throw it in the washing machine.
