PERSPIRATION STaINS
Summer garments that hang unworn in the
cl«set because of underarm perspiration
stains can sometimes ,be reclaimed. These
stains will often come out with ordinary
washing or dry cleaning, a little elemen
tary chemistry first will sometimes help
restore color.
Body perspiration is usually acid. So
Counteract fresh stains with an alkali,say
clothing specialists of the U.S. Department
•f Agriculture. Dampen the spot with
water and hold it for a few minutes over th
the fuflies from a bottle of ammoftiav/whtfir.
Or—for cotton, linen, and other materials
that do not water-spot--dilute the ammonia
water to half strength, apply a few drops
directly to the stain, and rinse thoroughly
ammonia water affects some dyes, so have
white vinegar handy to stop the action #f
the alkali if the fabric begins to change
color.
Perspiration stains that have been allowed
to "set" for a few days may become alkaline
So if an old stain fails to respond to the
ammonia water treatment reverse the process
and use vinegar—a mild acid, say the cloth
ing specialists. Sponging with vinegar
sometimes restores color, though an old
stain is more difficult to remove than a
fresh «ae.
Yellow perspiration stains on white mater
ial will sometimes vanish when bleached in
the sun after washing with soap and water,
For stubborn stains, sponge with Hydrogen
perixide. Or quickly dip the stained spot
into a solution of 2 teaspoons sodium hy
drosulfite to 1 pint water, and rinse im
mediately, but test the cloth for color
fastness to this bleach before using.
To remove perspiration odors from garments,
sponge the spot with warm water to whiwh a
few drops of vinegar have been added.
Sprinkle with pepsin, working the pepsin
into the cloth. Let stand 1-2 hours keeping
moist.Brush off powder and rinse well.
