Hey i have sweat patches on two white T-Shirts and a blue polo.
Washing them doesn't work, any idea on how to clean it.
Thanks in advance.

Try soaking the area in white vinegar and then washing

Hot or cold wash

I always use a cool wash and it works on my husbands tops. You can also get a product I think its from the Beckmann range and it removes sweat stains

The problem longterm is that sweat actually damages the cloth. However, if it's early days, I've heard of things like salt, bread soda & lemon juice being used to treat sweat stains.

Here are some tips I found through a quick google - Link

I've had good results this weekend with Vanish Oxi action - the standard powder. Soaked some white shirts, linen and cotton, in it for 6 hours and then washed. It did a good job of the stains under the arms. Soaked some coloured shirts for 1 hour (follow the instructions on the packet) and did a good job on them as well.

What would you suggest for silk blouses? Dry cleaning doesn't seem to address the problem..

I used a paste of malt vinegar and bicarb soda on some old sweat stains on a vintage cotton dress and it lifted the majority of the stain! Left it to work overnight and washed in a 30deg wash.

You should consider changing deodrant too because that has a lot to do with the staining as well.
