Tips for Removing Stains and Bad Smells from Garments
Excessive sweating, apart from creating stains on clothing, gives off a bad smell that impregnates all garments. To solve the problem and try to remove the smell of sweat on clothing permanently, follow the tips below that can be of great help.
- First of all, it is better to act immediately and deal quickly with the clothes that have acquired the smell of sweat. If we remove the sweat odor effectively, we will avoid permanent yellow spots on the clothes.
- When you notice that garments, after being washed, still give off an unpleasant smell of sweat, you can use one of the following home remedies. One that can work well is to use baking soda mixed with water. Create a paste with both ingredients and apply it to the garment in the underarm area, letting it sit overnight.
- If you prefer, instead of applying baking soda as indicated in the previous step, try to include a small cup of baking soda with the detergent you usually use to wash your clothes. It will neutralize and eliminate the sweat smell of the garment.
- Another home remedy to remove the smell of sweat on clothes is to use vinegar. Add white vinegar with the same amount of water into a spray bottle. Then, spray the mixture on the smelly areas and let stand for about 10 minutes. Then you can wash the garment.
- In addition to vinegar, another natural ingredient that gives good results is lemon. Also, mix the juice of a lemon with the same amount of water and with the help of a cloth or sponge, apply the mixture to the affected areas.
