This was a bit lengthy so I decided to do it in 5 posts.(I found this on Today.com and found it worth sharing.)
5. The myth: Yellow pit stains are just gonna happen. And it's the detergent's fault!
The reality: Kerr says one way to prevent the ugly underarm
stains is to change your deodorant. "Those stains are caused more by the
aluminum in commercial antiperspirants than by the actual sweat," she says. "One way to keep them
from happening is to switch to an aluminum-free product. In terms of treating
the stains when they happen, OxiClean — or any similarly oxygenated bleach or
enzymatic-based stain remover — is great." Pre-soak serious stains in
solution before you wash them to maximize effectiveness.
6. Myth: There is no hope for those stinky gym
clothes. Deal.
Reality: "Odor-causing microbes, like bacteria or mildew,
build up on damp clothes and feed on soils like oil from sweat," Ooka
says. To try to tamper the bad smell, air-dry the clothes before packing them
away if they can't be washed immediately. Otherwise, an odor-sealing plastic
bag can be your best friend.
