@sinituulia@eldritch.cafe how do I get sweat stains out of pillow cases and shirt underarms?

@urbanfoxe@mastodon.ie You might not, unless they're white! The slight acidity, oiliness and saltiness of sweat tends to create stains in coloured fabric by changing the actual composition or amount of dye in the fabric, and it's fairly impossible to change it back...
If on white fabric, the yellowing is due to all the various things and you can bleach it out with some effort. 🤔
A small bottle of stain remover was less anxiety inducing to handle than a big bottle of bleach, though.
When using deodorant with aluminium the salts tend to react with the dyes and oxidise, I once got weird dark grey green stains on a light blue shirt! Never came off, no matter what I did.
