Removing sweat stains from these materials can be tricky, but these three reliable, time-tested methods work effectively without damaging your garments.

How to Remove Sweat Stains Effectively

• Mix 1 part ammonia, 2 parts hydrogen peroxide, and 6 parts water in a container.

Substitute ammonia with 1 tbsp of fresh lemon juice if preferred.
