Sweat, deodorant and antiperspirant stains are really tough to remove. So to remove them effectively, you need to pre-treat. One of the most effective solution to remove sweat and deodorant from clothes is Ariel powder. So follow the instructions below and get rid of those pesky sweat and deodorant stains in the 1st go.

Everyone sweats. And everyone wears clothes. So it’s perfectly natural that clothes pick up sweat stains. The workout was good, but the discoloured, smelly armpit stains left behind definitely aren’t.

Lemon was seen as the saviour of your sweaty clothes, but there is a better form of sweat stain removal that doesn’t involve experimenting - and Ariel knows how. Watch our step by step guide on how to get rid of sweat and pit stains from clothing, or read the instructions below.

Removing sweat and pit stains

Step 1 step 1 label

Prepare a Soaking Solution

Next, pre-treat the sweat stained garment. Fill a sink or bucket with warm water and add half a scoop of Ariel Washing Powder. Mix the solution by hand until the detergent is completely dissolved.

Step 2 step 2 label

Soak

Add your sweat and detergent stained garments to the solution and leave to soak for an hour. If the stained garment keeps floating to the top, place a white towel on top of it to keep it fully immersed in the soaking solution.

Preparing for wash

Gently wring out the excess water before adding it to your wash with similar items.

Effective stain removal on many stains

Sweat stains often come with other annoying marks. One of the most common – and annoying – is deodorant. Luckily, Ariel deals with deodorant stains just as easily as it manages armpit stain removal.

Choose Ariel Matic for best stain removal even against annoying everyday stains like sweat stains. Ariel Matic is available for front and top load machines. Use Ariel Matic Front Load, if you have front load fully automatic washing machine or Ariel Matic Top Load if you have top load fully automatic machine. If you own a semi-automatic washing machine, choose Ariel powder detergent. Ariel powder gives you tough stain removal on your workout clothes, and leaves them smelling fresh and ready to go again.
