Perspiration marks can combine moisture, salts and body soil. A prewash stain remover or laundry soap can be used before washing at the warmest temperature the garment care label allows.
This page gives a reviewed first-line process rather than a chemical escalation ladder. Always keep stain products, wash temperature and drying method within the garment care label and the cleaning product's own directions.
Pretreat the affected area with a prewash stain remover or laundry soap that is compatible with the garment.
Avoid: Do not exceed the care-label temperature or bleach restrictions in an attempt to remove discoloration faster.
