When you look around on the Internet, it quickly becomes clear: deodorant stains are a ubiquitous issue. And honestly, who hasn't seen them?

These annoying, stubborn stains that spread across our beloved clothes. Sweat stains on white or black textiles in particular can not only look unsightly, but also give off an unpleasant smell.

Is it the deodorant?
Well, it's not easy to give a clear answer to this question. Because each of us sweats at different rates, and the composition of our sweat and the quality of our clothing also play a role in whether or not stains form.

Imagine hanging your freshly washed
favorite shirt and suddenly discover those annoying yellow stains.

Don’t worry – with a few tips you can save your clothes.

As soon as you discover the stains, treat them as quickly as possible.

White residues from deodorants on dark clothing can usually be quickly brushed out or washed out with water.

But what about those stubborn yellow stains? Before you wash your shirt next time, moisten the stain and rub it with gall soap. Let the soap work for a moment before putting your item of clothing in the washing machine as usual. Gall soap is a real hero for stubborn stains.

If you prefer natural methods, try citric acid. Dissolve three tablespoons of citric acid in warm water and soak your top overnight. Then wash your shirt in the washing machine. NOTE: This method is only suitable for white clothes. Dark clothes can fade.

Baking powder is a real all-rounder. Mix a packet of baking powder or 20g of baking soda with a little warm water to make a paste, apply it to the deodorant stain and treat yourself to a short break with a cup of tea or coffee. After 15 minutes of exposure, put your clothes in the washing machine and wash them as usual. This method is also particularly suitable for light-colored clothes.
