There is so much more you can do with vinegar than you ever thought. Luckily, it’s one of the household items you never miss in most kitchens. Soak the stained clothe in white vinegar for an hour. Then brush the stain off with a brush before cleaning it normally in a washing machine. This works for both white and colored clothes.

2. Baking soda

This is yet another product with a myriad of home uses. Make a paste using baking soda and water and rub it on the stain. Let it for some hours before washing with warm water. This is suitable for the yellowish kind of deodorant stains.

3. Aspirin

Got some old aspirin tablets in your first aid kit? Crush them and make a thick paste with water and apply on the stain. After some hours, clean off the stains and voila, your piece of cloth will be as perfect as it was before the stains. However, this best works in white clothes.

4. Lemon juice and water
