POLICY WIRE — City, Country — White T-shirts often develop unsightly yellow underarm stains, but experts have revealed the best ways to tackle them effectively.

Cleaning specialists recommend pre-treating the stain before washing, using oxygen-based stain removers, and avoiding harsh chemicals that can damage fabric. Natural remedies like baking soda and vinegar may work for light stains, but they aren’t always effective on set-in marks. Experts also warn against using chlorine bleach or hot water, as both can worsen the problem over time.
