How to remove sweat stains on clothes at home. Three effective methods

In summer, everyone sweats. Sometimes sweat stains get so deeply embedded in clothes that they remain even after washing. The fact is that when the sweat dries, the so-called butyric acid remains, which is released by the body during sweating. It constantly produces unpleasant odor molecules, and it is most active when the clothes are warm. If you do not completely remove the butyric acid during washing, the smell of sweat in the clothes will return. There's no need to despair and throw things away. In the modern world, there are three most effective ways to remove these contaminants at home and with the help of improvised means.

OBOZREVATEL tells you how to remove sweat stains with baking soda, vinegar, and cold. These products are sure to be found in every home.

Baking soda. Leave your clothes soaking in baking soda and water for at least an hour and then wash them in the washing machine. But be careful with colored clothes, as soda can cause discoloration. Soda also damages silk and wool.

Vinegar. Soak sweaty clothes in a bucket of vinegar before washing. Make sure it's completely submerged and let it soak for at least an hour (preferably overnight), then wash it in the washing machine.

Freezer. A very simple way. Just put things in a plastic bag and freeze them overnight to kill the bacteria that cause sweat odor.

We also provide you with three tips on how to prevent sweat odor in clothes.

1. Wash your armpits regularly. If you sweat a lot, it is better to do this at least once a day. This removes bacteria that cause sweat odor.

2. Wear clothes for only 1 day. Do not do it more often. But wash it on the contrary. Both will prevent the accumulation of butyric acid in your clothes. You don't need to use deodorant to mask the smell of sweat in your clothes, because it will disappear after a while. And the smell itself will only increase.

3. Use antiperspirant. If you have a problem with sweat odor in your clothes, use an antiperspirant deodorant instead of regular deodorant. Antiperspirants contain substances that inhibit the sweat glands, so there will be less sweat on your clothes.
