- Rub the stain with white vinegar.
- If this is unsuccessful, then soak the affected underarm area in methylated spirits for an hour (place the rest of the garment in a higher position than the area being soaked to avoid solution being wholly absorbed by the garment). Always check the garment for colourfastness before using methylated spirits. CAUTION: Care should be taken when handling methylated spirits. Ensure safety directions on the bottle are followed and store out of reach of children.
- If stain persists, rub stained area with laundry soap and water as hot as fabric will allow. Soak overnight in OMO Small & Mighty Top Loader or Front Loader and warm water. Wash as usual.
Remember: Always read the care label to make sure that your garment will not be damaged when you attempt to remove the stain. Check for colourfastness and dye stability before soaking.
