Removing Deodorant Stains from Dark Clothes

Question: How do you get deodorant stains out of dark colored clothing?

I'm sure that this reader is not the only one with this question.  We've all put on our perfect little black dress, only to look down and realize that there are deodorant stains under our arms. Right?

I actually have two answers to this question.

If the deodorant stain has already set then what you need is a little salt.  

Wet the stained area and sprinkle salt over it.  The longer the salt can sit on the stain the better, try to let it sit for at least a couple of hours.  

Before washing the garment get the stained area wet again and scrub it with a little more salt.  Then throw it in the washing machine and wash as normal.  This method is safe to use on dark clothing, as well as white clothing.

If the deodorant mark on your clothes is a fresh mark {like you got deodorant on the dress when you were putting it on} then there is a quick and easy technique to get it off.

All you need is an old pair of panty hose. Yes, panty hose. Roll up the panty hose in a ball, and start rubbing away the white deodorant marks. You will be using the nylon hose like a cloth. Just keep rubbing over the marks until the nasty whiteness disappears! source

Now you can slip into that sexy black dress, or your over-sized black t-shirt, with confidence, knowing that deodorant marks are not match for a little salt!
