How should I remove deodorant marks from my shirt?
Due to our natural formula not being gel-based, it has a clay-like texture. Like most natural deodorants, putting on a shirt before the deodorant fully dries can leave streaks. Be sure to let it dry completely – when it comes to this product, a little goes a long way!
If you do notice deodorant marks on your shirt, we recommend washing the shirt inside out in cold water; this usually does the trick.
If the stain persists, we have a few tips you can try:
- Hydrogen Peroxide: Mix equal parts hydrogen peroxide and water, then soak the stain. Note: Hydrogen peroxide has bleaching properties, so this method is most suitable for white clothing only.
- Baking Soda: Make a paste using 3 parts baking soda and one part water. Gently scrub the paste on the stain using an old toothbrush. For an added boost on white clothing, you can mix in a little hydrogen peroxide. If you don’t have any baking soda, you can always replace it with plain soda water.
- White Vinegar: Combine two tablespoons of white vinegar with one cup of water and soak the stained area.
- Lemon Juice: Mix equal parts lemon juice and water, then scrub it into the stain.
While these tips typically work well on cotton and polyester fabrics, some fabric blends may react differently to certain ingredients. If you’re unsure, we recommend checking with the garment’s manufacturer for fabric care advice.
