How to remove a yellow collar stain from a shirt?
A clean outfit starts with a crisp shirt. And nothing ruins that faster than yellow stains around the collar — usually caused by sweat, skin oils, and detergent buildup. 😓
Luckily, there are a few simple and effective ways to restore your shirt to its original freshness.
🧼 1️⃣ Vinegar + baking soda
-
Mix 1 tablespoon of baking soda with 1 tablespoon of water to make a paste.

Apply to the collar and let it sit for 30 minutes.
-
Add a splash of white vinegar during the wash.
-
Result: cleaner, softer fabric.
🍋 2️⃣ Lemon juice + salt
-
Squeeze half a lemon and mix the juice with a little salt.
-
Rub onto the stain and leave it in direct sunlight.
-
Wash at 30–40°C as usual.
🧴 3️⃣ Stain remover + brush
-
Use an enzymatic stain remover made for sweat and body oils.

Gently scrub into the fabric with an old toothbrush.
