Not only are these under-arm stains ugly, but they can harbor objectionable odor. Your best bet is to treat these problem areas before the stains set in. \u00a0Pre-treat new stains with an enzyme pre-soak product or spray-on stain remover before putting it into the washing machine. If the stain doesn&#8217;t come out, refrain from putting the garment in the dryer, which will set the stain as heating can cause an otherwise colorless stain to yellow.<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Protection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Sweat dripping into your eyes whilst running can cause stinging and temporary blindness, if you tend to sweat excessively from the heat, try wearing a sweatband made of towelling or a peak cap\/visor with a towelling liner.\u00a0 Towelling armbands are also useful to wipe away excessive sweat on the brow.\u00a0 Keep a towel handy for just after your run.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other articles on this subject to follow:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"No Sweat ..
