Removing Deodorant Build-Up from Clothing

So you got a bit of deodorant on your favorite shirt – no worries, it happens to everyone! Luckily, there are simple solutions that can help you clean off the residue and get your shirt looking fresh and new again.

Here's what you'll need:

  • Paper towels
  • Baking soda
  • Laundry detergent
  • Vinegar
  • Borax

Now, follow these steps to remove your deodorant stains:

  1. Gently blot the stained area with paper towels to remove as much of the visible deodorant as possible.
  2. Mix a paste of baking soda and water, and apply it to the stain. Allow it to sit for a few minutes, then blot away the paste with a damp cloth.
  3. If the stain is still present, mix a solution of one part white vinegar and two parts water. Apply the mixture to the stain and let it sit for several minutes, then rinse with cold water.
  4. If the stain remains, mix a solution of one tablespoon Borax and one cup of warm water. Apply it to the stain, and allow it to sit for several minutes. Rinse with cold water.
  5. If the stain still persists, wash the item with a laundry detergent formulated for removing stains. Allow the item to air dry.

And there you have it – your garment should be looking as good as new! Just remember to never put the item in the dryer until you’re certain that the stain has been completely removed.
