The RIGHT Ways to Remove Clothes' Sweat & Deodorant Stains

About this video

The Gazette team provides a comprehensive guide to removing sweat and deodorant stains from clothing. They explain the science behind how these stains form—through a combination of sweat oils, body oils, dirt, and antiperspirant ingredients—then walk through practical removal techniques ranging from spot cleaning with various commercial and homemade solutions to soaking treatments for stubborn stains.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team explains that underarm stains result from a matrix of sweat oils, body oils, dirt, and deodorant/antiperspirant ingredients (particularly aluminum salts) building up in fabric over time
• The Gazette team recommends a multi-step removal process: physically scrub caked-on material, apply enzyme-rich detergent or dedicated stain removers, work the solution in gently or vigorously depending on fabric type, let sit for 30+ minutes, then rinse
• The Gazette team suggests soaking garments in vinegar-water solution (1:3 ratio) or commercial soaking treatments for 3+ hours or overnight before washing, and cautions against using chlorine bleach or machine drying until stains are fully removed
