Style site Men's Flair has some pointers to help you raise your arms high—without dreading the looks of horror as you reveal yellow stains—through proper treating, washing, and drying. Men's Flair lists many of the concoctions we've covered before, such as using citrus and baking soda/borax combos (though they did leave out a previously highlighted aspirin technique).
What caught our attention more than any of the treating and washing tips though, is the info on how to properly dry a shirt for best pit-stain removing results:
If at all possible, dry your white shirts in the sun. This can help to "draw out" stains, and make your white shirt look even whiter than it did after you washed it. If you can't dry your shirt outside, try air drying indoors instead.Head over to the link bellow for the tips and keep in mind that these methods focus on white cotton t-shirts, so be careful with your colorful delicates.
Avoid drying your shirt in the dryer. Heat can set residual stains and will not help you get the whitest shirt possible.
How are you keeping the sweat stains away this summer? Do you keep your arms firmly at your sides or do you have some tricks to keep discolorations away? Tell us in the comments.
