Eco-cleaning for lazy people: Removing Sweat Stains From Shirts

Yellowy sweat stains ruin all of Hubby's shirts & T-shirts quite quickly.  I couldn't find anything that really got them out until I read this tip in his Men's Health magazine:
  • Put the shirts into a bucket with 1 cup of Vodka and top up with cool water until the shirts are just covered.  
  • Swish the water to mix everything in and leave soaking over night.
  • Wash the shirts as normal in the machine.
If they are really bad they might need treating a couple of times, but it definitely keeps them fresher.

This tip also works really well with bedding where sheets & pillowcases start to yellow with sweat or hair wax.
