Perspiration stains are caused by sweat and body oils reacting with fabric of your jacket. Removing them requires removing the discoloration that has been created and neutralizing any odors.

- Pre-treat the stained area: Soak a washcloth in a mixture of cold water and laundry detergent, then use it to blot the stain. This will help to loosen the stain prior to washing.
- Hand wash jacket: Fill a sink or large bucket with cold water and add a small amount of laundry detergent or shampoo. Place the jacket into the water and soak it for 15 minutes.
- Rinse thoroughly: After soaking the jacket, drain the soapy water and rinse the jacket with cold water until all of the soap is removed.
- Wash on delicate in the washing machine: Place the jacket in a washing machine with a mild detergent and set to a delicate cycle. Add an oxygen bleach such as OxiClean, if desired.
- Air dry: After washing, let your jacket air dry. Do not place it in the dryer.
