Hope you've got some good tips!
Let me start by being clear about the issue I’m looking for help on as I don't need any help with sweat marks under armpits, it's purely a solution for clothes that you can’t wash on a really hot wash that I’m interested in.
The scenario where you wash them and they smell fine but when you’ve had them on not for very long the next time you wear them, lo and behold the sweaty aroma starts to waft and you feel instantly like a right old mucky pup (when in fact you are clean and always use a good deodorant/anti-perspirant).
I would just like to be able to wash my clothes knowing that if they did get a bit sweaty, that they won’t smell of sweat the moment I put them on again when I pick them out fresh from the cupboard!
So I need something for:
- removing the sweat SMELL, not stains
- colour safe on man-made fabrics
- something that I’d apply to the armpits say 15 minutes before doing the washing and that would do the trick even on a lower temp wash
- happy also to add something to the rinse cycle as well as if needed.
I know there’s all sorts of solutions around such as bicarb, white vinegar and hydrogen peroxide to name but three – I just want to be sure I don’t go ahead and use them only to find I’ve got white armpits because all the colour’s come out of my (not) posh Primark clothes!!
