RE: How to Remove Underarm Sweat Stains from Light Clothing?
I tried the baking soda and peroxide on some whites and it worked great! I made a paste and scrubbed it in with an old toothbrush then let it sit for about 30min. Rinse and the wash as usual.
For colors a vinegar and water solution works well but it is helpful to first scrub the area with a soap to remove grease like a shampoo for oily hair or dish detergent (i used dish detergent) as a lot of the stain comes from the deodorant binders as well as your actual sweat. after scrubbing with de-grease soap in HOT water... rinse with COOL water and then apply COOL water/vinegar solution and let sit for 30 min.. then wash as usual, no need to rinse.

My aunt use to use baking soda and peroxide made into a paste and scrubbed into the area and let set for 30 minutes then wash as normal. This worked well back when we were waiteresses and had to wear all white.

if you google : "baking soda uses" there are other uses not listed on the link.

I swear by Yellow Out. It is available in Canada and the USA. In the US you will find it at Ace hardware, and Walmart. You can also check out on the internet where to find it in your area.

You can use vinegar as above for some sweat stains - and after rinsing. Try an application of hydrogen peroxide + the heat of an iron, or even while wet use a cotton swab dabbed in bleach on the wet stain until the stain is gone.

I had this problem this week on a white evening gown. I put white vinegar on it, put in the sun for a few days. Do this every day till the stain is gone, it works, good luck.
