Preventing Future Stains

Here is a list of tips on how to try and avoid or reduce the possibility of getting deodorant / antiperspirant stains on your clothes:

• You can prevent underarm or sweat stains on the outer garment by wearing an undershirt or underarm sweat pads.
• Try to let your armpits fully dry before putting on your shirt.
• Avoid applying an excessive amount of antiperspirant.
• Try using aluminum free or low aluminum antiperspirant or deodorant, these can reduce or even eliminate the residue build-up and the associated staining.
• Try using a stick or roll on rather than an aerosol.
• Try using a deodorant instead of antiperspirant.
• You can try and keep on top of the residue build-up, by frequent application of a proprietary pre-wash treatment on the armpit areas of the shirt with each wash, to try and remove some of the deposits before they set on the fabric of your garments.
• Try not to tumble dry or iron the armpit area of a garment you suspect may have any residue on it, as the heat can make the residue turn a darker yellow or brown visible stain.
