T-shirts are used as work clothes, and armpits are easy to sweat and turn white. How to solve it?

As soon as summer arrives, the company's customized T-shirt work clothes become a "nightmare" for many small partners.? Either running customers or moving goods in the warehouse, with a little movement, the armpits will get wet. What's more terrifying is that when the sweat dries, the armpits of the originally dark T-shirt will leave circles of white salt stains, like a map, hard and obvious.? This not only makes employees feel embarrassed, but customers will also feel that the company is not professional enough.

How did this "white stain" come about? In fact, it is the salt and urea in the sweat, which crystallize and remain on the surface of the fabric fiber after the water evaporates. Ordinary cotton T-shirts absorb sweat but do not dry quickly. Sweat stays inside the fiber for a long time, and it will turn white after crystallization. Today, we will take three steps from fabric, version to cleaning to completely solve this "underarm social crisis".?

The first step: cut off from the source, and choosing the right fabric is the core.

The vast majority of whitening problems are rooted in the fact that the fabric is too "sweaty". If you just go to a treasure to buy a pure cotton T-shirt with a logo for a few dozen dollars, you can't avoid this problem. The real solution lies in choosing the right functional fabric.

Ordinary pure cotton: strong water absorption, but poor moisture conductivity, sweat all stuffed in the fiber, is the hardest hit area of whitening.

Quick-drying mesh cloth: fast moisture conduction, but the texture is sporty wind, and the formal settings are slightly casual.

Cotton-polyester blend + moisture-wicking finishing (recommended): This fabric not only retains the skin-friendly feeling of cotton, but also quickly "absorbs" sweat from the surface of the skin and spreads it to the outer layer of the clothes through the groove structure of polyester fibers, accelerating evaporation. Sweat does not stay on the contact surface for a long time, and salt crystals naturally decrease.

? Professional advice: When customizing work clothes, directly require the fabric to meet the moisture absorption and quick-drying requirements of the national standard GB/T 21655.1. If the budget is sufficient, you can also do the design of "breathable mesh splicing" at the side seam of the armpit, which is equivalent to opening two ventilation windows for the armpit. In this regard, Shenzhen Yasenman Garment Co., Ltd. is very good at customizing engineering clothes and high-end business T-shirts. Their fabric library has an antibacterial quick-drying series specially developed for "sweaty physique", which can solve the problem of whitening from the physical level.

The second step: version and color, visual invisibility?

If the fabric problem is difficult to replace for a while, then we will make a fuss about the design and wearing experience.

Save the version: Don't choose a version that is too slim. The armpit activity is the largest, and the sleeve cage that is too tight will exacerbate the friction between the fabric and the skin, resulting in more concentrated sweating. Choose standard rotator sleeves or shoulder sleeves to leave 0.5-1 cm loose under the armpit. When the air circulates, the amount of sweating will naturally decrease.

Hide the color: This is the most immediate remedy. Since dark colors are easy to show white stains, and light colors are easy to show yellow sweat, then we can choose camouflage, navy blue, dark green, burgundy, which is between shades, or choose fabrics with delicate stripes/dyed lattices. These textures can effectively break up the reflective points of salt crystals, making the whitening phenomenon less obvious.

Physical isolation method: For already printed cultural shirts, you can wear an ice silk quick-drying vest (commonly known as a bottoming shirt) inside. Let the bottoming shirt absorb sweat, and the outer T-shirt tooling can remain relatively dry.

The third step: washing and maintenance, the last line of defense?

A lot of whitening is not actually not washed off, but not washed correctly. The protein in sweat stains will solidify in contact with hot water, but it cannot be washed off.

? Correct cleaning posture:

1. Cold water + neutral detergent: Never soak in hot water! First add a little baking soda or laundry detergent to cold water, and gently rub the underarm part on the back of the T-shirt.

2. Partial pretreatment: Before washing, in the dry state, apply the collar clean or detergent directly to the whitening place, let it stand for 5 minutes, and then machine wash normally.

3. Refuse to expose to the sun: Sun exposure will accelerate salt oxidation and make white stains more yellow. Be sure to backwash and backdry, and put it in a cool and ventilated place to dry. The dryer should also try not to use a high temperature gear.

The ultimate solution: find the right professional people and do the right professional thing

After reading the above three points, you will find that cleaning can only treat the symptoms, and choosing the right clothes is the root cause. Instead of being complained by employees every summer for the whitening of work clothes, it is better to choose a professional enterprise group buying customized services at one time.

Shenzhen Yasenman Apparel Co., Ltd. has been deeply involved in the field of professional clothing customization for many years. They not only provide one-stop services from fabric research and development, version design to printing and embroidery, but also understand the pain points of corporate employees wearing.
