How to
Remove Pit Stains
One of the primary Laundress missions is conquering the "pit stain". This is a very common problem and a frustrating one at that!
The stains (sometimes more yellow, some gray) are from the combination of the natural body oils, deodorant, and fabric absorption. To remove these stains & more, follow our recipes below – and happy laundering!
Pre-Treat
- Apply Stain Solution to the stain.
- Work the Stain Solution into the stained area with our Stain Brush.
- Pour hot water from a height to be more effective and soak.
- If stain has faded, but isn't completely gone, repeat the process until satisfied.
- To remove odors: pre-wash or pre-soak with Signature Detergent. Work Stain Solution into the fabric. Soak well.
- Launder as normal.
Machine Washing
- Pre-soak for super dingy whites. Make a bath of hot water.
- Apply Stain Solution directly on stained areas.
- Launder with hot water and Signature Detergent or Activewear Detergent.
Dry & Finish
- Do not dry any items that still have stains.
- Hang to dry on a line in the sun for energy efficiency, natural whitening and that awesome fresh line experience - or use the dryer.
