But what about those unsightly sweat patches? The Drenched Pit that makes you afraid to point to the top of the graph in a board meeting, or grab the wine glasses from the top shelf. We would rather be a penguin, with arms clamped to our sides, and face-plant on the tube than raise our arms to grab the overhead handles. Remember that guy on TV with the fish under each arm?
Here's the simple solution: wear an undershirt. Whether you go aluminium or organic, wearing an extra layer between your skin and your outer layer helps prevent the sweat from ever reaching your favourite shirt or tee. These cellulose-based fabrics are silky-smooth, stretchy and durable blends that breathe and keep your body at a more even temperature. This is very different from a moisture-wicking material such as Polyester where sweat is removed from the body and onto an outer layer — creating a sweat patch and that inevitable stain.
A Robert Owen Undershirt will absorb your sweat, and help prevent it from drenching your favourite shirt or tee. We offer slim and regular fits, with V or crew neck, and long or short sleeves. The different collars ensure it stays invisible under your shirts — whether you go open-collared or buttoned-up. Each undershirt has a long length so that it stays tucked in throughout the day. There is also an enhanced 'sweat protect' feature; a double underarm layer which can hold sweat pads if needed.
We think our undershirts are the most comfortable you can buy. The secret is the fabric, which is lightweight and smoother than cotton, and the cut, which is sleek and easy to wear — even under a formal shirt. Apply antiperspirant or deodorant before bed. Allow time for the product to set in and do its job. This improves the effectiveness of your deodorant or antiperspirant, which can help you sweat less and reduce armpit stains.
Wear a Sweat Proof Undershirt for Protection A sweat proof undershirt is the easiest, most hassle-free way to stop pit stains from ruining through your clothes. Take Proper Care of Your Clothing By following proper laundry protocol, you can reduce the occurrence of pit stains or make them much easier to remove.
The stain will have time to set in permanently. Plus, damp sweat is a breeding ground for bacteria. Pre-treat severe stains before tossing the shirt in the wash. Products like OxiClean can be effective, but only when used correctly. You can also try other DIY methods, like aspirin or a vinegar and baking soda combination. Skip the bleach. Although bleach has whitening effects, it actually worsens pit stains on fabrics like spandex, wool, silk or leather. The same goes for drying your clothes out in the sun.
Dry on low heat or air-dry if possible. Take your shirt to the dry cleaner if necessary. Instead of trying to remove sweat stains from a silk shirt yourself, take the shirt to the dry cleaner as soon as possible. As we mentioned above, be sure to point out the stains when you drop off the shirt so it gets the little extra care it needs.
But before you learn how to prevent pit stains, you need to understand what actually causes them. See, antiperspirant gets absorbed into your clothing, and when it mixes with your sweat, you get nasty yellow pit stains.
But antiperspirants are also the one thing that can help reduce the amount of sweat you produce. So what do you do? The idea is to get your sweating under control first. Before you go to bed, take your shower and make sure your underarm area is fully dry.
Then, apply a light layer of antiperspirant. We recommend using our SweatBlock towelettes because the clinical-strength antiperspirant actually works to reduce the amount of sweat your body produces for between four and seven days.
After wiping your underarm area with the towelette, allow it to dry completely before putting on your pajamas. Then, all you need to do is go to bed and let SweatBlock do the work.
When you get up in the morning, swipe a thin layer of deodorant onto your armpits — remember, you only want to use a thin layer because sweat stains are caused by the mixture of your deodorant, antiperspirant, and sweat. The key to preventing pit stains is keeping the area as moisture free as possible. If you need a bit of added protection through the day, carry a travel-size bottle of baby powder with you. They will help prevent any random sweat stains from soiling your nice clothes.
If you prefer an undershirt instead of sweat guards, Thompson Tee undershirts are a good option because they are form fitting, durable, and have a sweat-proof layer of fabric added to the underarm area. There are several things you can do to help prevent nervous and anxiety sweating , which in turn, helps stop the pit stains.
Unfortunately, pit stains show up a lot easier on white shirts than they do colored ones. So the easiest way to prevent pit stains from appearing on white shirts is to wear an undershirt or sweat guards to keep the sweat at bay. Sweat guards are also commonly known as garment or dress shields. Some attach to your clothing, while others slide over your arm, attaching to the top of your arm using an elastic band.
You can even make your own garment pads by cutting a panty liner in half. Then, attaching the side with the adhesive to the armpit area of your shirt. This way they absorbent pad soaks up any armpit sweat you have throughout the day. Hi Marti, I have a white denim jack that turned yellow in one area from being stored over the winter, I washed it but its ,still there will lemon juice help, also i have a new white linen blend shirt that looks yellow after being stored , what is the best way to return them to white.
Have you already tried The Soak? Those two tricks are probably your best bet. And definitely dry it in hot sunshine if possible for a couple of hours. The shirt is now a yellowish cream color. We just bought a used baton twirler marching costume for our daughter about 3 months ago. But, over the summer, the white top has turned orang-y.
The uniform is polyester, but this top part is thinner and a little silkier not sure what the fabric is. What do you suggest? Can I get the bleach yellow back to white on my shoes the fabric part of them?
Hi there! The yellow clorox stains are likely due to a chemical reaction and are super hard to remove. Try using one of the remedies in this post, especially the Iron Out or the bluing agent.
It will probably take some trial and error to get the yellow out. I have new white dishtowels with embroidery on them that have been stored in a plastic bag and have turned yellow. How can I make them white again? I have had them 5 yea. I buy them new for gifts and are hard to find, now I have to deal with bringing them back to new. They have been kept in a drawer.. Open for solutions.. The yellow staining around collars and cuffs is caused by body oils and proteins.
If entire shirt is yellowed, add this mixture to 2 litres of water and soak the shirt for 10 minutes. Do this every 3 months or so to maintain the whiteness. There is a large white section on the front that is yellowed. Thank you in advance. Please help! Tried to get rid of stain on white denim shorts. Sprayed chlorine on stained spots and accedentially forgot about it over night.
What do I do??? I have still got the yellow marks and now a bright pink rectangular outline on the back as well…. These are about 40 years old. The t-shirts are yellow with age. They are also stiff. I would like to wash these to give to our grandsons. What would be the best method to get the yellow out of the shirts without them disintegrating?
I got some beautiful white silk bedding in China and I put bleach in the load. They turned yellow. Would you recommend bluing or should I stick with the vinegar or lemon juice suggestion. Also, I put them in the dryer. Oh dear.
