Summer is Here – Get Rid of Those Unsightly Underarm Stains

underarm stains

Well, half the summer is already over and surely your adventures, activities and outdoor functions have been many. With that said, you probably have noticed a good many underarm stains on all your favorite tops. In order to keep on flaunting and wearing your cherished summer garbs, the team here at Jimmy’s Cleaners and Alterations wants to share some quick tips for getting rid of all those armpit stains.

The most important tip for removing stains is to not delay. To prevent unsightly stains on your underarms, don’t just toss the garment in the hamper. Rather, toss it into the washer right away to remove tough underarm stains. The longer you let the stains sit, the harder it will be to remove them.

IMPORTANT TIPS ABOUT REMOVING UNDERARM STAINS

One of the most important things to focus on when removing stains from the underarm is what color the garment is. The process to use for white tops will differ from that of colored garments.

  • White shirts and tops – A simple but effective remedy starts by pouring 2 cups of a warm water mixed with a single cup of white vinegar into a large mixing bowl. Submerge the white shirt into the bowl and let it soak for about 25 minutes. While soaking, take a smaller bowl and mix some baking soda, hydrogen peroxide and some salt together forming a paste. Wring out the shirt and lay it on a flat white cloth. Spread the paste on the underarm areas and let it sit for an additional 20 minutes. Once the time has expired, put your white garment through a regular washing and the underarm stains will be gone.
  • Colored shirts and tops – The stain removing process is a bit different for colored garments. Again, pour 2 cups of warm water and a single cup of white vinegar into a mixing bowl. Submerge the shirt into the bowl and let it soak for near to 25 minutes. Once you have finished the soaking process, put the garment under cold running water and gently rub the underarm stains with your hands. You can then wash the colored garment normally and the stains will no longer be there.

IT’S QUICK AND SIMPLE EVERY TIME

As you can see, getting rid of underarm stains is not very challenging. However, it can be a bit time consuming. We all have our favorite summer tops and there is nothing more distracting and unsightly than to be sporting armpit stains.
