There’s nothing more irritating than having your all-black ensemble ruined by white stains, or realizing that your party dress has had underarm stains all night long. It draws the eyes to an unfortunate accident and can honestly ruin the entire look that you crafted for this specific event.
Let’s talk about how you can avoid pesky deodorant stains on your favorite outfits and live your life with newfound confidence!
1. Apply Less Antiperspirant
A simple first step is to apply less antiperspirant on a daily basis. A leading cause of deodorant build-up is because users apply way too much, allowing the excess to get all over your clothes. This overuse is completely unnecessary, and here’s why.
The secret about deodorant is that you only need a thin layer. Going over your underarms a dozen times not only is a waste, but it makes your deodorant less effective. Applying your deodorant correctly will improve its quality, reduce staining, and even save you (a little bit of) money!
2. Let It Dry
Another common mistake that people make with deodorant is the time of application. It’s vital that you let your deodorant dry all the way before you put your shirt, blouse, or dress on.
A way to apply this in your everyday life is simply to mix up the order in which you get ready. Instead of putting your antiperspirant on right before you get dressed, put your deodorant on first, then make your bed, brush your teeth, and do skincare before finally getting dressed.
3. Consider a Spray
A popular switch from traditional stick deodorant is a spray-on alternative. They’re compact, easy to use, and super convenient on the go. Though it’s debated by many whether it works as well as roll-on deodorant, for all the people who scorn it, at least as many swear by it.
Spray-on antiperspirant has a very distinct advantage over a stick of deodorant – it allows you to skip step two! Sprays have a reputation for drying immediately, which makes them the perfect option for when you’re running late for work. They’re also a life-saver at events, easy to tuck away into a bag or coat pocket.
Removing Old Deodorant Stains
Even after you practice these steps in your daily life, you’ll still have old clothes that have accumulated deodorant stains over the years. If you do a quick internet search, you’ll read a ton of different methods that often conflict with each other.
Through it all, these are the best steps to remove deodorant stains. Whether you’re dealing with tough, built-in stains or you just noticed fresh stains at a party, they’re sure to clean up your wardrobe!
