- sweat;
- oil (animal or vegetable).
In each case, you need your own stain remover to remove them:

The neutralization / discoloration reaction is carried out with vinegar and soda. Minor contaminants are removed by rinsing in an automatic machine, if you add 100 milliliters of vinegar. Stubborn stains are treated before washing, rubbing the mixture into the traces of sweat. Yellow sweat stains are removed from silk products with ethyl alcohol. A mixture of hydrogen peroxide and dish soap will help remove underarm yellowness without vinegar and alcohol.
