In an effort to determine if your deodorant or antiperspirant is a cause for cancer we turned to the Cancer Research UK and the American Cancer Society to get some answers.  There has been a lot of talk these days linking antiperspirant with breast cancer but the fact is sweat DOES NOT contain toxins and there has never been a proven link between the chemicals in anti-perspirant and cancer. 

So you’ve probably been gearing up for the springtime/summer warmer weather and have been pulling out your favorite tees and tanks from the back of your closet…then you realize…OMG the horrible YELLOW STAINS in the underarms of your favorite shirts...you sweat more last summer than you thought and will most likely again this year!

The Super Bowl is right around the corner and while we are all busy ordering our 6 foot long subs and testing out the latest hot wing sauce, we do it with a smile forgetting the havoc this day wreaks on our clothing.  We will be counting down the five most common stains found on clothing after a long day of cheering,drinking, eating and the like. 

1.  Beer Stains obviously the most common, are tannins which respond well to bleach.

2. Superbowl Dip stains this is really anything with cheese, cream, spinach, artichoke, sour cream...this is not a recipe. The best way to treat is to keep them away from hot water as it will make the proteins stick to the stain.  Soak it in cold water add some liquid dish soap, rub vigorously and launder.

3. Superbowl Salad this is anything that contains oil, butter, mayonnaise these are protein stains and should be pretreated with a spot stain remover.  Make sure to saturate the stain rub well and let sit for 5-10 before laundering.

4. Wine stain (not everyone drink beer) start with club soda then add salt rub together and repeat until the stain is removed.

5. Super Bowl Dessert this could involve heavy creams, ice creams, chocolate and or icing treat with cold water, add liquid dish soap rub together and launder.  

Now get out there and have fun and may the best team win!!!

- Try to include plenty of fruit and vegetables in your daily diet. If you want to avoid sweating it is best to avoid fatty foods as these can cause your body to sweat.

- Wash your armpits in a solution made of real lemon mixed with water. This might sound like a strange thing to do but it really can help you stop sweaty armpits naturally. You may be surprised to find that this works for you.

- Fit an extra shower into your routine half way through the day. This will not only provide you with a fresh feeling and get rid of any stale sweat, but it will also allow heat to escape your body. Having a shower should help you stay sweat free for a few hours afterwards.

- If you are unable to take a shower during the day, make the time to wash under your arms. This will freshen up the area and hopefully provide a few hours where you are sweat free.

- The way your body sweats can also be influenced by the clothes you wear. If you want to stop sweating naturally then it is better to wear a few thin layers rather than one thick layer. That way you will be able to remove layers as you heat up. Cotton clothing is often viewed as the best choice if you want to avoid sweating.

 

She contends that only a soapy washcloth "under her arms, between her legs and under her feet" is needed to get "really clean." On the go, she wipes away underarm odor with a sliced lemon.

Defying a culture of "clean" in existence at least since the 1940s, a contingent of renegades deliberately forgoes daily bathing and other standards of personal hygiene - such as shampoo and deodorant.

The converted have many reasons to cleanse less and smell more like themselves.

"We don't need to wash the way we did when we were farmers," said Katherine Ashenburg, 65-year-old author of The Dirt on Clean: An Unsanitized History.

Since the advent of cars and labor-saving machines, she continued, "We have never needed to wash less, and we have never done it more."

Retention of the skin's natural oils and water conservation are two reasons that Palmer and others cite for skipping a daily shower.

Some have concluded that deodorant is unnecessary after forgetting it once with no social repercussions. Others are concerned about antiperspirants containing aluminum, although both the National Cancer Institute and the Alzheimer's Association don't share the concern.

Some people have long complained that showering too much makes their skin drier or more prone to skin flare-ups, and Dr. Richard Gallo, chief of the dermatology division at the University of California, San Diego, said scientists are just beginning to understand why.

"It's not just removing the lipids and oils on your skin that's drying it out," he said. It could be "removing some of the good bacteria that help maintain a healthy balance of skin."

But Elaine Larson, a professor at the Columbia University School of Nursing in New York with a doctorate in epidemiology, cautioned that subway riders and others who come into contact with many strangers should consider soaping up.

"If it's cold and flu season," she said, "you want to get rid of the stuff that isn't a part of your own normal germs."

Whatever the motivation, personal cleanliness in the United States has long been big business. Advertisements address (and probably generate) anxiety about body odor.

They seem to work: Adults younger than 24 use deodorant and antiperspirant more than nine times a week, but, even for older age groups, usage never falls below an average of once a day, according to Mintel, a market-research company.

 

There are two types of sweat glands: eccrine and apocrine. Eccrine sweat glands are found all over the body and are particularly abundant on the palms of our hands, the soles of our feet and on our forehead. They mostly secrete water with high concentrations of salts. Apocrine glands are mainly concentrated in our armpits and around our genitals, and rather than just secreting water and salt, they also secrete lots of fat and protein. This makes the sweat thicker, more yellow, and produces the stains we find on our nice white shirts. Our armpits are a seething mass of bacteria and those bacteria are growing on the sweat we produce. The bacteria break down the fats and proteins to make rather niffy compounds, which is why your armpits can smell especially bad even though you've been sweating all over.

 

Lipstick stains: Rub petroleum jelly on the stain and wash as normal  

Prevent bright coloured garments from fading: Soak in salty water before their first wash

Prevent delicate fabrics from becoming shiny when ironing: By ironing through a cotton pillow cover

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER TO remove Red wine stains from tablecloths by moistening and applying salt to stained area. Let stand a few minutes then wash as normal.

To Clean an Iron: Remove stickiness from the base of the iron by applying rubbing alcohol to a cloth, then wipe over the base of the iron.
