Don't rush to get rid of your favorite clothes, even if they have noticeable sweat stains. Perhaps someone can afford to throw away their entire wardrobe at once, and then immediately update it with the things they just bought.
What about saving money and making clothes look good again without dry cleaning and expensive chemicals? After all, even the most advertised products from the store cannot always cope with stains on clothes. Unfortunately, even all kinds antiperspirants and deodorants do not save from sweaty marks on things. And then what to do with the stains? How to get rid of them?
Removing sweat stains manually
Traditional way
We use washing powder for our color and type of fabric. Powders with bleaching are suitable for white items. But chlorine bleaches and white on white things can leave yellow stains.
The stain is removed from a synthetic composition using bleaching laundry soap. You need to hold the soapy cloth for 15 minutes. If there are still stains, rub them with ammonia.
Denatured alcohol and chicken yolk
- Apply a mixture of denatured alcohol and chicken yolk to the stain.
- The solution must dry for a crust to appear.
- Take an iron nail file or a non-sharp knife, with which you scrape off the dried solution. Can't remove the crust? You need to dip a cotton swab in warm glycerin.
- After that - machine wash.
Regular and ammonia
- We make a mixture of these components.
- Apply the solution to the stain and leave for 10-15 minutes.
- If the solution evaporates too quickly and the material dries out, you need to moisten the cloth again.
- The item is thoroughly rinsed in plenty of cold water.
Let's take gasoline
- A cotton swab or piece of cotton wool is soaked in gasoline, and this is how we treat the stain.
- The fabric is left for 5-10 minutes.
- Areas with stains are treated with ammonia.
- Washing clothes. It happens that it takes more than one wash for an item to stop smelling like gasoline.
We use table salt
- Let's prepare a strong saline solution.
- We wet the contaminated areas with it.
- We carefully wipe so that the structure of the fabric is not damaged.
- Clothes must be washed so that no salt stains remain on them.
Let's try using baking soda
- You need to mix four tablespoons of baking soda in a quarter cup of water.
- Take a brush and rub the resulting paste onto the stain area.
- Let the clothes sit for an hour.
- After this time, you need to wash the item and dry it at room temperature.
- If necessary, the procedure can be repeated.
We use persol
Persalt is a chemical bleach that, when dissolved in water, releases hydrogen peroxide. Since this substance contains soda and hydrogen peroxide, it can easily be made at home.
- A spoonful of persalt is mixed with a cup of warm water.
- Take a brush and rub the resulting mixture into the stain.
- Clothes can be left for a couple of minutes or overnight.
- After this, the item is washed and dried.
- If necessary, the procedure is repeated.
Let's use the little white one for other purposes
- A mixture is made of water and vinegar or water and vodka.
- Before washing, spray the prepared mixture on the stain.
Remove stains with hydrogen peroxide
- You should soak the stain or the entire garment in a solution of hydrogen peroxide and water for 15-30 minutes. The natural bleaching properties of hydrogen peroxide are its advantage over expensive bleaches. Also, the risk that your clothes may change color after washing with peroxide is small. But just in case, you can conduct an experiment on one of the inconspicuous areas of the item.
- The clothes need to be washed and dried.
- If necessary, repeat the procedure.
Test table vinegar
Do everything according to the same instructions as when using hydrogen peroxide. But the item is soaked in undiluted vinegar.
"Fairy" for the dishwasher
The same procedure is carried out as when using persalt.
Getting rid of sweat stains with machine washing
