That is definitely the case with this hack to remove deodorant stains.
Simply take a sock or pair of tights and rub against the stain to remove it completely.
Be quick, this only works if you get to the stain before it dries.
Owen Machon, skincare expert and co-founder of Make Waves, said: "This is the quickest and easiest way to remove stains and works best when you’re in a hurry and looking to remove white marks from black or other dark colour clothing.”
Lemon Juice
This works well on light colour clothing, particularly whites, as the acidity in the lemon breaks down the stains and naturally brightens the fabric.
To remove deodorant and sweat stains on your clothing, combine lemon juice and water to create a concentrated stain removing solution.
Add this to a spray bottle for a quick and easy natural stain remover that can be sprayed onto your clothes before washing.
Not only is this an effective solution for stains, but it’s also cost-effective, with a lemon costing on average as little as 30p to 50p in most UK supermarkets.
Baking soda
Using bicarbonate of soda, a staple ingredient in most households, you can banish nasty stains leftover from your deodorant at the end of the day.
Mixing together a 3:1 ratio of baking soda and water will create a paste which can be applied to your clothing before washing to remove any stains.
Owen added: "These solutions for removing deodorant marks are great, however, they can be solved completely by switching up your deodorant to a more natural alternative like Make Waves."
