Sweating usually has two main problems: yellow spots on white clothes and white spots on colored ones. We have already talked about the first problem. But what about the white spots from antiperspirants?

When choosing a means to protect against sweat, we often follow advertising, trying to find the thing that leaves the least spots on clothes. Unfortunately, most of these means have little success because they still leave the annoying spots.

The means of protection from unwanted sweat include deodorants, antiperspirants, and deo sticks, which differ in consistency, composition, and purpose.

Antiperspirants and deo sticks

They contain aluminum salts and compounds that form a protective barrier in the area of ​​application, covering the pores and preventing sweating. As a rule, antiperspirants leave extensive white circles on clothes that can’t be eliminated by regular washing. 

Hydrogenating solvents are added to the antiperspirant formula to prevent the formation of white spots, which, unfortunately, reduce its effectiveness.

Deodorants

The small hairs on the skin of the armpits contain a lot of bacteria that cause an unpleasant odor. Deodorants block them, but they also leave white spots.
