How to Remove Pit Stains
If you’ve ever wondered how to remove pit stains, I have a simple two-ingredient process for you. There are a variety of methods you can use, this is my favorite because I’ve found it to be the simplest and most effective. Why does it work? The liquid and enzymes in the Laundry Detergent Spray help to break down the deodorant build-up and then the Oxygen Whitener whitens and brightens.
Here are the simple steps:
Gather your ingredients:
- Laundry Detergent Spray
- Oxygen Whitener
- small fabric brush – you can even use a clean, repurposed toothbrush
Spray 1-2 sprays of Laundry Detergent Spray on the pit of the shirt
Launder as usual – I just add one or two more sprays in the spray to the washer and wash. Dry in the dryer and enjoy your pit stain-free shirts!
Quick Tip: Look for aluminum-free deodorant, the chemical reaction to the aluminum in anti-perspirant makes pit stains worse.
