How to Get Sweat Stains Out of a Professional Football Jersey

Fans who wear football jerseys to a game get sweaty from being active in the stands or simply due to being surrounded by thousands of fellow fanatics. The sweat transfers onto the worn jersey, causing noticeable yellow and dark stains. A cleaning method that involves no harsh chemicals lifts stains off the jersey and removes undesirable odors associated with sweat.

White vinegar
Bowl or container
Sponge or cloth
Warm water
Baking soda

Instructions

- 1
  Turn the jersey inside out to attack the sweat stains and prevent damage to sewn-on items such as numbers or patches
- 2
  Pour 1 cup of white vinegar into the bowl or similar container.
- 3
  Transfer the vinegar onto the sweat stains, using a sponge or cloth. Don't worry about scrubbing the jersey yet.

  Make a paste of warm water and baking soda in an empty bowl or container. "Reader's Digest" recommends mixing ¼ cup of warm water with 4 tbsp. of baking soda. Mix the ingredients with a spoon or your finger until a paste forms.
