Removal Instructions:
- Create a mixture of warm water and detergent.
- Apply the mixture directly onto the perspiration stain.
- Allow the solution to rest on the stain for 5-10 minutes.
- Rinse the material.
- If the stain persists, repeat steps 1 through 4.
Cleaning Tips:
- Use an enzyme-based stain remover for more stubborn sweat stains.
- For extra cleaning power, necessary for bright or bold colors, add 1/4 cup of white vinegar to mixture.
- Treat the stained area with a spot treatment as soon as possible instead of laundering it immediately; this will help avoid the stain from setting in.
Additional Tips:
- Always check the manufacturer’s care label before laundering or treating a garment to ensure it is safe to do so.
- Be sure to follow the garment manufacturer’s recommended cleaning instructions and avoid using excess heat–this could set the stain in place, making it harder to remove.
- When possible, hang clothing outside to air dry; this allows the sun’s ultraviolet rays to work their magic on any lingering perspiration stains.
