How to remove yellow spots on clothes?

Sweat stains produced by sweating, because sweat contains fat, are easy to condense in the fabric fibers, so add about 2 tablespoons of ammonia water when washing, soak for a few minutes, scrub, and then rinse with clean water. Follow the general laundry procedure to remove the yellow sweat stains!

(2) Sometimes, white or light-colored clothes will turn yellow over time. The main reason for the yellowing of white or light-colored clothes is the oil secreted by the human body, especially polyester fabrics, which are more prone to yellowing. In addition, there are fat residues left over from washing (most obviously found in flax fibers). If they are not rinsed thoroughly, they will cause large areas of clothes to turn yellow. There are ways to get rid of this phenomenon, such as using a large amount of detergent when washing clothes that can be washed in high temperature water. A traditional way is to hang the yellowed clothes in the sun, but before that, apply fresh lemon juice on the yellowed area, add some salt and rub it gently.

WARNING : Use caution and avoid using chlorine bleach. Fabrics such as spandex, silk, and wool will become more yellow when exposed to chlorine bleach.
