We’ve all been there: you put on your favorite black blouse before going out, and suddenly disaster strikes.
Those pesky white deodorant marks appear out of nowhere, threatening to ruin your outfit and make you look messy before you even leave the house.
But before you change your clothes or start wasting baby wipes, there’s a surefire way to banish the white cast of deodorant.
In fact, the hack is already hanging in your closet.
A reporter shared how she quickly removes deodorant marks from her blouses using a velvet hanger.
Alison Hall is a correspondent and producer for America’s oldest syndicated national news magazine, Inside Edition.
And thanks to spending a lot of time in front of the camera, she knows how to make sure her clothes stay fresh 24/7.
When white deodorant marks appear on her blouse, she simply rubs a velvet hanger over the stain.
The soft, textured surface of a velvet hanger makes them surprisingly effective at removing white stains.
Unlike rougher fabrics or sponges, velvet is soft enough to avoid damaging clothes while still having enough texture to remove deodorant residue.
It’s a gentle yet effective method, making it perfect for delicate fabrics as well as everyday use.
Alison shared the hack in an Instagram video and dubbed it “the most random yet useful thing she’s ever posted.”
“White deodorant stains drive me crazy,” she added.
“Until I realized that my velvet hangers worked wonders.
“Do you know this trick?”
People were quick to call the hack a “game changer” and said it “saved 50 baby wipes.”
