Sweating excessively can be embarrassing, but don't be alarmed because it's not as bad as you think. It can be genetic or caused by a medical condition like antidepressants, drugs or an overactive thyroid. To get relief from excessive sweating, look for an antiperspirant that is 12% aluminum chloride or ask your doc for a prescription formula that's 20%. This will help plug the ducts and stop the problem.
For sweat stains on your clothes, you can get rid of it by sprinkling the areas with 1 teaspoon dry meat tenderizer. Scrub the area with a toothbrush until a paste forms. Let it sit for 1 hour, then launder in the hottest water that is safe for the fabric. The papain in meat tenderizer will help break down the chemical bond that forms when acid (from perspiration) touches salt (from the aluminum in deodorant).
