Sweat Stain Removal
Sweat stains... The harder you work the more likely they become! It's often difficult to work out if the sweat stain has been caused by perspiration, or if the stain is a result of the deodorant you've been using. Vanish Oxi Action can deal with both and this means you never have to worry about sweat staining your clothes again.
HOW TO REMOVE YELLOW SWEAT STAINS
To get rid of Sweat stains, we recommend using Vanish Oxi Action Gel:
Vanish Oxi Action Gel Apply the gel directly onto the stain, wait 5 minutes and wash normally adding one dose of Vanish Oxi Action Gel to your wash.
Soaking is recommended for tough and dried in stains. Add one dose (60ml) of Vanish Oxi action gel to 4L of warm water and soak the stained fabric, coloured item for max 1 hour whites for max 6 hours. Wash as usual or rinse thoroughly.
Important: Always follow the usage instructions on the Vanish packaging. Do not use on wool, silk or leather. Do not use on finished or coated surfaces – for example wood, metals etc.

Why do sweat stains occur?
Underarm sweat stains occur when anti-perspirant ingredients mix with the natural salts in sweat. Many deodorants contain aluminium compounds to reduce moisture. This aluminium is behind the stain build-up and yellowing of fabrics. You're most likely to find these stains occur after continuous wear rather than suddenly appearing.
