No More Armpit Stains! Try This All-Natural DIY Sweat Stain Remover

34 · May 6, 2019 · Stephanie Gerber · 4 Comments

I think we can all agree on the fact that sweat stains are not pretty at all. I hate to admit, but I have this white sports bra that, after years and years of use, has gotten these yellowish stains on the armpit edge that I couldn’t dislike more. I’ve washed it several times with OxiClean but it really didn’t do anything.

DIY Sweat Stain RemoverSo, after looking online for different ways to remove stains (including this DIY guide to summer stain removers), I decided to combine a couple of methods in one and give it a try. The result? It improved significantly!

All-Natural DIY Sweat Stain Remover

Ingredients for all-natural stain removerWhat you need

  • Equal parts lemon juice and water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • A small container
  • An old or unused toothbrush

Directions

1. Combine equal parts lemon juice and water in a small container

2. Add the salt and the baking soda (watch out for the baking soda, as it will react with the lemon water!)

3. Using a toothbrush, scrub the stained area several times. Let sit and scrub some more if needed.

4. Wash in the washing machine in warm or hot water (don’t put in the dryer until the stain is completely removed).

5. Repeat if needed.

    How much water/lemon juice? I understand equal parts, but how much? What size container is needed, i.e. what is the overall quantity that this recipe makes? Thanks

    I use banking soda and peroxide to get rid of most problem spots, but it’s not doing much for sweat stains. I’ll give this a try.

    Does this work for collar stains on men’s dress shirts? Will it harm the interfacing in them?
