How to Get Stains out of White Clothes
For armpit stains, use a stain remover and agitate it with a soft laundry brush (or rub the fabric together). Then wait at least 15 minutes before throwing in the washing machine. For tougher stains, you can let the spray set for several days. An enzymatic or plant-based stain remover will do the job well here.
Note: For wool and silk, however, you should only leave this spray on for 60 minutes
