How to Battle With Underarm Stains

Lets face it, vintage clothes are by definition second hand garments, and this means that in most cases vintage clothes have been worn before. Many vintage garments have underarm stains, for instance.

Discoloration and underarm stains can be caused by deodorants. Deodorant underarm stains are white, powdery dry markings that can often be removed by spot dabbing with white vinegar. Also lemon juice works in a similar manner. Remember to use a lint free clean white cloth!

Excess perspiration left on a fabric can often create weakness or colour damage. Therefore it is a good idea to protect your vintage garments by using dress shields. These detachable underarm cotton inserts are sewn into wool and silk dresses to prolong their wear and reduce the cost of constant cleaning. Dress shields protect the dress brilliantly from damage, so do yourself and your lovely vintage dress a favour and get yourself a pair of dress shields today!
