How Do You Remove Perspiration?

Perspiration can be very damaging to fabrics. It can hurt fibres, cause color changes and create permanent staining. The fatty acids, cholesterol and chloride salts in perspiration can yellow with age, and the salt can deteriorate fibres, especially silk. In most cases, the damage is a progressive condition. The longer the perspiration remains in contact with the fabric, the greater the damage.

Cleaning your garments on a regular basis is best. Call attention to these stains at the dry cleaner. However, your washable items shouldn't present a problem. Most perspiration will come out with detergent. If needed, enzyme pre-soaks are available at your grocery store and work very well on this type of stain.

In some cases, soaking in a three-percent hydrogen peroxide bath may help. Use two ounces of hydrogen peroxide per gallon of warm water. Remember to test for colorfastness before using any treatments.
