Use White Deodorant With A No Stain Feature
When using deodorant, keep in mind to not use too much. Use too much and your deodorant will stick to your clothes which makes removing stains difficult.
In the same vein, don’t wear your shirt immediately after putting on your deodorant. Allow some time for the deodorant to evaporate so that it doesn’t stick to your shirt. What about other stains? Here’s some tips.
Few Extra Tips
Air dry your stained clothes under the sun, and wash stains as soon as you notice them. The longer you keep stains the harder it is to remove. One must not forget that the shirt itself plays a role in this. Invest in good quality shirts that have good fabric. Good material can repel the chemicals in your armpits, keeping your shirt dry and looking sharp.
