THIS WORKS!! Trust me, I tried all the other videos out there on KZbin and this is the only one that worked for me! Pro Tip: soak in water+vinegar for at least an hour and use a dishwashing brush for scrubbing. Thank you for making this video, Kayla! You are a true life-saver :)

This just made my whole weekend!! 🤗🤗 I'm so glad this worked for you Ausrine!!!

Pink shirt se remove hoga kya black stain and agar hoga to kya kya lagana hoga bhai???

[@AlexdaCunha]

vinegar seems to be the remedy for everything! and is so cheap!

[@inlenhuertas444]

I will try it

[@DesertLifeCooks]

Yes! Finally! This really worked on a shirt I thought I was going to have to quit wearing. Thank you👍🏻💞🥰

[@WritingFromNowhere]

I'm so glad that it worked for you 🤠🤠

[@zerowastewisdom7163]

This is such a great technique! I have quite a few T-shirts that could use a good scrub so I'll be doing this the next sunny day I have to set up a station for drying outside!

[@auroranunez2505]

Thank you! I'll be doing this to all my old shirts this weekend :)

[@kuroihana9360]

Life saver! In the past 2 years I’ve been getting pit stains. Never had that issue before but I’m tired of throwing my clothes away! Thank you!

[@WritingFromNowhere]

I'm so glad it helped!! 🤗 if the stains started happening all of a sudden, the cause could be a new deodorant that you switched to. My husband uses chemical deo and the stains are brutal. I use Nuud natural deo and it's day and night (and I sweat way more than he does 😅)

[@BwooHuraca]

@@WritingFromNowhere I should try that deodorant. Seems like the aluminum free ones either don't last long or make my lymph nodes swell. Good thing is I've only had swelling with one type but the rest seemed to fade.

[@WritingFromNowhere]

@@BwooHuraca I've been experimenting with natural deodorants for 4 years and nuud is the absolute best I've found - you should give it a try!

[@kathrynsmith2257]

Amazing! I've been really struggling to get stubborn stains out. Thanks for that hydrogen peroxide trick!

[@theoutkastkid7598]

This work on black t-shirts too? Even with the hydrogen peroxide 3%?

[@Kokiwie]

Hi Kayla, Thank you so much for this video! I did not know bout hydrogen peroxide! Thank you :)

[@ejej6934]

Pretty remarkable. I was wondering why I've been getting these dark-ish stains in my t-shirt armpits the past year or so. I'm fairly certain it has something to do with the brand of deodorant I've been using. Anyway, I followed the process in this video and the difference was amazing. Believe me, I've tried pre-soaking the shirts with stain removers, tried "oxy" powders.... nothing worked. This worked. Thank you!

[@WritingFromNowhere]

I am so happy this worked for you!! Based on my experience, deodorant type has an enormous impact.

[@bjschilthuis3590]

This worked so well on my shirts!! They're completely revived

[@WritingFromNowhere]

So awesome to hear!!!!! 🤩

[@catrionacasali8430]

Thank you so much for this video! I love my vintage t-shirts, but don't necessarily love the vintage by-products. Now I can keep them looking fresh! Do you think this method would work with food stains too?

[@WritingFromNowhere]

Glad you found it helpful! Yes, the hydrogen peroxide mix was originally from a stain remover recipe. I've used it on a number of different stains!

[@Davbo37]

Thanks! Succinct and clear instructions. This helped a lot! :)

[@WritingFromNowhere]

I am so glad to hear that :)

[@spideyxmoriarty]

thank youu! i have this t-shirt i really love and I don't wanna get rid of it. i'll try it out!

[@SquidCena]

Did it work?

[@lilasmith9679]

Just tried it today and it worked for me too. This will make it so I can wear a lot of my clothes for a lot longer.

[@WritingFromNowhere]

I’m so happy to hear!

[@doilus]

i didn't have any white vinegar but just the soap and soda worked 🤯 you just saved 3 shirts from the bin 👍

[@WritingFromNowhere]

That makes me SO happy 😍

[@Hachdog]

Vinegar would have cancelled the baking soda's effect.

[@Onlylife4me]

Thank you so much this worked like a charm

[@WritingFromNowhere]

I'm so glad to hear!!!

[@Jeff-oh3de]

hey i’m 17 and iv been getting pure black stains on armpit areas. i use deodorant but it always come out noticeable in white shirts. do i need to use non aluminum deodorant or?

[@WritingFromNowhere]

Yes, my GUESS is that it's your deodorant. I would try a natural deodorant. After trying a bunch of different brands, my favorite is called Nuud nuudcare.com/ You can get 20% off with this code (just found it on Google) QUEEN20 And if you join their email list you can get an additional promo. When I place an order I always get a pack to save money and then stack up 2 promo codes and it can bring it down to a pretty normal price for deo

[@MyMixeDiary]

That's really informative

[@WritingFromNowhere]

I'm so glad that it helped you!! 🤗

[@jacknjill3000]

Man I just looked closer on a shirt I got from and it had underarm stains. I already left positive feedback, so I can’t return it. The stains were on the white almost transparent part of this multicolor shirt and really only visible when I put it to the light. I’m sure that’s why the person decided to sell the shirt. So not only getting stains out, but be careful when buying used clothes off eBay. Thanks for the video and now I got to try to get someone else’s armpit stains out and wish me luck.

[@WritingFromNowhere]

How did this work, were you able to save your eBay shirt?

[@DawnToDuskDesigns]

Hi there! I’m excited to try this on my blazers. Thanks for sharing! Hugs from LA! - A u r o r a ❤❤❤

[@mikemonster9345]

Can baking soda bleach the shirt. My girls shirt has a stain and she is freaking out about it staining and how she can’t wear the shirt anymore. (She has really low self esteem and I’m trying to help her out because she only wears like 4 shirts because she doesn’t like the way she looks in anything else.) please help!!

[@WritingFromNowhere]

This method CAN lighten the fabric (as you see here, it's slightly lightened). I think if the shirt is really so precious, taking it to a dry cleaner would be worthwhile because I can't say for sure if this method will work.

[@naveeshanair993]

Does the vinegar might change the colour of the clothing?

[@WritingFromNowhere]

It's never happened in my experience, but that doesn't mean it's impossible. I would test a discrete area if you're nervous!

[@freedum5]

Thank you!

[@WritingFromNowhere]

You’re welcome 🤗

[@nathancruz9172]

I only use aluminum free deodorant without pit stains from clothes.

[@amajay800]

Those this work on coloured dress or it bleach the coloured dress

[@WritingFromNowhere]

It might bleach it. It faded my clothes a little bit, so use cautiously

[@Dangleesak69]

Hello! Does this fade darker Color’s?

[@WritingFromNowhere]

In my experience it SOMETIMES does, but it’s never really damaged anything. But I can’t say for sure about every garment!

[@tmol222]

May be a stupid question...and probably won't be answered for 3 months (maybe), but is apple cider vinegar ok to use? Looking through my cabinets and that's what I have. Not sure if it's still good, either. Thanks!!

[@WritingFromNowhere]

I don’t think ACV will work - I can’t say for sure, but I’ve never seen it used for cleaning purposes and I imagine there’s a reason for that.

[@tmol222]

@WritingFromNowhere Bummer, but ok. Thanks for answering so quickly, not everyone does!! I'll get the right kind and try this. 👍

[@user10238]

I gotta try this bc my older sister doesn’t wear deodorant and steals my clothes, thanks.

[@ruruuu16]

What can I use instead of baking soda?

[@WritingFromNowhere]

A quick Google shows me that there are a few different things you can use but I can't personally recommend any of them because I have no experience. Sorry!

[@zeltron2445]

Does this also work on white shirts?

[@WritingFromNowhere]

I can't say it works 100% of the time, but I've had success with white tshirts! It's worth a try

[@rynic]

Trying it now, will update later🤞

[@WritingFromNowhere]

Good luck!!!

[@Glitchfaction]

Wash disposal gloves?

[@WritingFromNowhere]

Why not? 🙂 disposable gloves exist for safety purposes. If I were a doctor providing medical care to someone wearing these gloves, I'd want to throw them away to protect the next patient. There's no downside to reusing cleaning gloves as long as you wash them well

[@samanthasalazar8685]

Thank you I have lulu tanks and I don’t want to throw them out . 😭💕

[@WritingFromNowhere]

I'm so glad this helped!!

[@amajay800]

Without hydrogen peroxide will it work

[@WritingFromNowhere]

Sometimes, it depends on the stain. I recommend starting with the dish soap and seeing if it’s effective, then resorting to hydrogen peroxide

[@Canadiana71]

I tried both methods but not four rounds of scrubbing. An hour for three shirts. Nothing worked.

[@WritingFromNowhere]

I'm sorry to hear that! I wonder if a stiffer scrub brush could work? If the hydrogen peroxide didn't help, I don't know what will work

[@djbillye4943]

I used wire brush now i have no sleaves

[@ZeeJohansen]

Are you just using regular clear vinegar (5 %) or is vinegar acid (32 %)? :D

[@WritingFromNowhere]

Sadly looking at the container I can't say! It simply says "cleaning vinegar." I wish I could help!

[@ZeeJohansen]

@@WritingFromNowhere that was a perfect response, a bit of quick research tells me that cleaning vinegar is at 6 % (a 20% effectiveness) But that means I should be able to just use the 5 % but I might need to work it a but more 😁 Thanks for the video and response 😁

[@1980sbrawl]

Where can i get that brush?

[@WritingFromNowhere]

I don't know if it's exactly the same (I bought mine locally) but this looks very similar: www.amazon.com/SUBEKYU-Scrubber-Bristles-Household-Vegetables/dp/B09685B4HP/ref=sr_1_21?crid=MLUQ0Z1I4U6S&keywords=wooden+brush+cleaning&qid=1676362564&sprefix=wooden+brush+cleanin%2Caps%2C203&sr=8-21 Just be sure to test it on your garment first so you don't accidentally tear the fabric.

[@ramblin_man23]

Can you just do mine for me? I only have 2 dozen shirts to do 😂

[@WritingFromNowhere]

My dad recently asked me the exact same thing 😂 I did 1 for him to teach him and left the rest in his capable hands!

[@ramblin_man23]

@@WritingFromNowhere okay cool you can teach me by doing 24 shirts 🤣

[@markmillerjr164]

That’s way to long it should be 3 mintues

[@WritingFromNowhere]

What should be 3 minutes?
