6 steps on how to remove sweat stains
Armpit stains from sweat and deodorant are common phenomena, no matter whether you’re having an intense workout session or logging extra hours at the office. Your busy life, however, shouldn’t leave you with pit stains, so follow Tide’s simple steps to restore your garments to their former glory.
1
Step 1: Rinse
Rinse the sweat-stained garment in water.

Step 2: Pre-treat
Pre-treat the stain with Tide Double Power and leave to set for 5 minutes. Alternatively, you can use Tide Bar to pre-treat the stain.
3
Step 3: Dose
Use the right amount of Tide Double Power when washing for the best result.

Step 4: Load
Without rinsing off the detergent, place the garment into the bucket or tub you use for handwash with other, similar items. Leaving the detergent on the stain will give your wash that extra boost of cleaning power.

Step 5: Wash
Wash as usual without exceeding the hottest wash temperature indicated. Always check on the garment’s care label for further instructions.

Step 6: Unload
When you’re finished, hang your garments out to dry immediately. If the armpit stain persists after washing, repeat the previous steps before drying the garment, as drying can set the stain.
