How to Get Rid of Deodorant Stains

Many people use deodorants and almost half of them have that common problem – how to deal with the stains they leave behind. So, here is a short guide with tips you can use to remove deodorant stains from different types of fabrics.


First, we have to divide the fabrics on washable and non-washable, because each of them needs to be treated in a different way. For an example, the washable fabrics such as Nylon and Acrylic can be treated with regular stain removal detergent and then laundered. Unfortunately, you cannot hire domestic cleaner for this task and if this method doesn't work, you can try remove it using white vinegar right after the cleaning detergent. You should rinse with water in the end.

The non-washable fabrics such as Fibreglass and Linen have to be cleaned in a different way in order not to ruin them. There are two ways to remove the deodorant stains from them: the first one is using rubbing alcohol, which should be applied on the fabric and left for several hours. Because the alcohol is going to evaporate quickly, you can soak an absorbent pad and leave it on the fabric. In case this is not helpful, mix water and ammonia and flush the damaged area. Then rinse with vinegar and clean water.
Be really careful because this may change the colour of the fabric. That's why you can ask for advice the domestic cleaner who visits your house now and then.
