So how do you remove sweat stains? There are different cleaning solutions for such stains, but there is also one thing that you shouldn’t use under no circumstances, and that is bleach. Bleach actually reacts with the stain causing it to darker even further, and the light yellow stain turn to a stain that resembles mustard colour.

Battersea cleaners recommend one very unusual stain remover if everything else fails. Make a paste from tartar cream, crushed aspirin pills and warm water. Apply the paste on the fabrics using an old toothbrush and let it sit for 20 minutes, before rinsing with warm water until the paste is gone from the fabric. If there are still traces of the stain remaining apply the same solution once again.
