Consider how to fix the situation, depending on the cause.

Reason # 1. Sweat marks

Urea is part of the sweat, and the tissue absorbs it. Especially noticeable are yellow stains on light clothes - white shirts, trousers. Applying a deodorant will not solve the problem, but will aggravate it, since with the interaction of antiperspirant and sweat, on the contrary, hard-to-remove resistant spots form.

In order to reduce perspiration and prevent the appearance of unsightly stains, adhere to the following rules:

  • Strictly observe the rules of personal hygiene.
  • Wash areas of the skin that are most prone to sweat, wash with warm water and soap every day, then dry the skin and apply a mixture of lanolin and talcum powder.
  • Avoid spicy foods in hot weather.

Important! If you sweat profusely, examine your body for diseases..

Reason number 2. Wrong washing conditions.

If after washing yellow spots appear on the clothes, the reason for their formation lies in the detergent and hard water.

Important! Washing powder consists of elements that are capable of reacting with salts in hard water. It is because of this reaction that yellow stains appear on the products.       

To correct the situation, listen to the following recommendations:

  • Choose a detergent based on the type and color of the fabric. To protect yourself from unpleasant results and keep your clothes durable longer, read on our site all about best laundry detergents.
  • If you have hard water at home, then before washing the clothes, soften it by adding the following products to your choice of detergent: citric acid, soda ash, vinegar, special softener “Calgon”.

Reason number 3. Long-term storage of things

Even the newest things lose their freshness during long-term storage. Contaminated clothing is generally strictly forbidden to store.

Stains on clean clothes may occur if the items are not sufficiently dried after washing and placed in a closet. Another reason for yellow spots on white clothing after storage is a room with high humidity or mold.

Important! If a closet with clothes is in a room where humidity is elevated, the resulting mold can leave stains on the fabric, which are not so easy to get rid of.

To prevent this phenomenon, follow simple rules:

  • Before putting things in a cabinet, dry them well and ventilate.
  • Wash and store baby items always separately.
  • Before washing, put contaminated items in a special basket with holes.

Important! When storing for a long time, be sure to hang out in the fresh air for ventilation.

Reason number 4. Incorrect use of the iron

Yellow marks on the fabric can also arise from improper use of the iron.

To prevent the problem, take the following recommendations:

  • Before proceeding with ironing, be sure to read the label on the clothes to select the correct temperature regime.
  • Always start ironing at low temperatures, and in the process determine whether it is worth raising, based on the type of fabric.
  • Always start ironing with an inconspicuous part of the product.
  • Do not iron with steam iron if water has stagnated in the container.

Reason number 5. The use of bleaches

Before using a bleaching agent, be sure to read the product label and see if there are any warnings on the use of the drug. If you use bleaches, then be very careful when applying to the material, as if the product is used improperly, a yellow or white spot may appear that cannot be removed by anything.

Important! Use only oxygen-containing products, for example, “Persol” powder. This tool can be used for boiling things and for machine wash.
