Smelly...

The sweat patches at the shirt arm pit area are not nice.


Once you start to sweat, it automatically triggers the patches to start producing pungent stench. This overpowering smell, which you can usually get a whiff if you ride the bus or train back home after work, is said to be the work of bacteria. Nobody knows up to now, why the bacteria cannot produce nice smelling aroma instead.

I have tried this method, which I found from the internet and from a household handy book.

All you need is bicarbonate of soda and water.


Mix bicarbonate of soda with water until it becomes some sort of paste.


Do not eat it because eating it would not make your sweat smell nicer or anything but instead apply the paste on those sweat patches on your shirt.

Leave it for half an hour or more…

Now you can go and check your Facebook account.

After that, just drop the shirt into the washing machine. Wash it as usual. Dry it the normal way. Should your shirt still have that pungent aroma, apply the bicarbonate paste again…

Hopefully you are not contributing to the air pollution anymore after this…

Especially after work…
