The lemon has antibacterial and whitening qualities that greatly reduce yellow stains and odors in clothing. This is perhaps the simplest and the most affordable solution for cleaning sweat-stained clothing.

It can happen at work, home, or school and can totally ruin a good outfit.

Both ingredients are fairly effective on their own at breaking down and lifting out ink stains.
