Different Ways to Remove Nasty Underarms Stains

As if being seen with armpit sweat marks is not embarrassing enough, there is still the armpit stain that you have to deal with.  I recently unearthed an old red blouse that’s perfect for corporate events and discovered that it has armpit stains caused by deodorant and perspiration. The blouse exactly looks like Sarah Jessica Gellar’s top and I couldn’t wait to wear it again. Unfortunately, I have to solve my dilemma with the stains first before actually wearing the red blouse.

If you have the same problem as mine, here are a few tricks on how to get rid of those stubborn stains:

The easiest way --- liquid detergent containing oxygenated powers. Let the detergent sit for 30 minutes before washing the cloth. If the tough stain is still there, apply detergent on the affected area, expose the cloth under the sun and keep it damp. Wash the cloth after several hours of sun exposure. 

Most of us are likely to use bleach to remove the stain for white fabric. However, chlorine and perspiration could actually lead to darken the stain even more. Use hydrogen peroxide instead. Soak the affected area in hydrogen peroxide for at least 30 minutes before washing the cloth with detergent. Remember, this is effective only for white fabrics. Don’t do this in your colored clothes if you don’t want them ruined!

Instead of hydrogen peroxide, try using 1 tbsp white vinegar and ½ cup of water to remove armpit sweat stains for colored clothes. Soak the cloth in the vinegar mixture for 20-30 minutes before washing it with detergent.

1 tbsp Cream of tartar, 3 crushed aspirin, and a cup of warm water could probably do the job for ultra stubborn armpit sweat stains. Just make a paste out of the mixture, brush the paste on the stains and leave it for 20 minutes.  Rinse with warm water after. Repeat the process when necessary.

To totally eliminate the problem on armpit perspiration stain, we have to put an end to armpit perspiration.   Easier said than done, I know. But if you have heard about underarm excessive sweating surgery, you’ll realize that it’s easy to permanently solve armpit sweating.  Ask your dermatologist about it to know more about the treatment. In the Philippines and Palau, you can visit Dr. Almond Derla’s LaEstetica International to inquire about underarm sweating surgery.

How to Eliminate Excessive Underarm Sweating

It’s embarrassing to have underarm sweat especially when everyone can see the sweat marks on your shirt. Imagine going to a Beyonce concert date with your lover. Expect a jam packed stadium. You are fashionably dressed for the night but when you review your pictures from your digicam you can see that the sleeves of your underarms are soaking with sweat! You’d like to keep the pictures as memorabilia of the concert date but you’d probably want to photoshop the underarms to erase the sweat marks.

I found several celebrity pictures with sweaty underarms and boy, they are not really nice to look at.

So how, do we deal with sweaty underarms? Here are several possibilities...

•   Regular shower --- while shower could reduce the smelly odor of sweaty underarms and refresh the underarms from the sweat, it is inevitable to sweat again after several hours of heat exposure.

•   Deodorant--- there are trusted brands that could actually aid in reducing underarm sweat but elimination of sweat is not 100% guaranteed.

• Non-exposure to the sun --- would this mean no more day out in the sun? Besides, sweat could still form at night as long as the weather is hot.

•  Lemon Juice--- rubbing the lemon juice on the armpits after bath is said to be effective…just bare the acidic/sour scent emanating from the armpits.

• Talc powder---applying this on the armpit could be a bit messy but it could work for you.

• Underarm sweat wipes—it claims to stop sweating when the antiperspirant wipe is dabbed on the armpit.

• Underarm excessive sweating surgery--- a permanent solution to underarm excessive sweating. It may cost you money but this medical procedure would surely save you from that embarrassing sweaty armpits.
