Black stains on the collar of a white uniform are a common problem that often disrupts your appearance. These stains can be caused by various factors, ranging from sweat, body oil, to contact with dirt or dust. Apart from giving an untidy appearance, these black spots can also be difficult to remove if not treated properly.
It's important to know how to effectively treat black spots on your collar to maintain a clean and professional appearance. One of the most common methods is to soak clothes in bleach. Even though it is effective in removing black stains, another impact of soaking uniforms in bleach too often is that they tend to quickly damage the fabric fibers.
To be safer, you can use the method shared by Instagram user @amihinevlog. Through one of the uploaded videos, he admitted that he used ordinary detergent. However, there are two additional kitchen ingredients so that the black stains can be removed optimally.

Reported by BrilioFood from the Instagram account @amihinevlog on Tuesday (23/7), the kitchen ingredients in question are baking soda and dishwashing soap. So, dirty white uniforms can be put straight into the bucket. Then pour in enough baking soda, detergent and dish soap.

So, a number of these ingredients are then dissolved using boiling hot water. After that, press the clothes using a tool until all the ingredients are mixed evenly and the clothes are completely soaked. If so, soak the clothes for 1 hour.

Next, rub the collar using a brush. If the stain is still stubborn, you can rub it using bar soap. Do this process until the stain is completely gone. The final step, rinse the clothes under running water until there is no soap left. That way, the collar on the white uniform will be cleaner and shinier. Apart from that, these materials are safe to use because they don't damage the fabric fibers, you know.
