Removing stains for men
Which stain do you want to remove?

Removing deodorant stains
Deodorant keeps unpleasant odors away. A downside is that it can cause white or yellow stains on your clothing.
How do deodorant stains occur?
White stains come from the deodorant itself. Deodorant leaves white marks when you put on a shirt before it has dried. You can often remove these easily by patting the fabric with your hands. Yellow stains, on the other hand, are caused by a chemical reaction when body oils, sweat, water, and the ingredients of the deodorant come together.
How do you remove sweat stains?
