I was watching some of the older videos, and remembered the time when Preston had just started in the channel and was receiving a lot of hate. Today I can't even imagine GG without Preston, he is a key part to this channel. Good thing those dark days are far behind us.
I'm very old fashioned: I like to use gall soap (bile soap) to remove stains. Rub it into the wet fabric, and let it sit for a few hours, then wash the garment as usual.
@spunky143143 That's soap which has some bile (substance produced by the liver and stored in the gall bladder, hence the names) mixed in, used to remove stains.
Would GG be willing to do a video on necktie maintenance? Specifically how best to battle crimping from being knotted all day, shape retention, pressing, and care of slip stitch construction. I suppose an added layer could be care of tricky woven ties, like Garna Fina Grenadines. Thanks!
I once made the mistake of sending a necktie to the cleaners, and it came back flattened. I then figured out I should iron it "in the orthogonal direction" (that is, flattening the side seams) to try and recover some of the original thickness. It kinda works...
I got a deodorant "crystal" from my Natural Grocer store. It's potassium aluminum sulfate, simply known as alum. I applied it as directed, and was very pleased to discover that it works great, is fragrance-free, and it doesn't leave any residue on my clothing. (Under very heavy sweating, it may leave a slight, white, powdery ring on the underarms of my shirts, but it's very minimal, and it washes out completely.) Bonus points because it's cheap, and it can be used anywhere on the body, and personally, I like to choose my fragrance, and not have it in my deodorant. BTW, Professor Preston looks an awful lot like Preston; I think they're related.
Would have loved to see some advice for jacket pits. I always fight sweat stains in my wifes jackets because like many women she loves wearing a sleeveless top underneath her jackets.
Oh great Professor Preston, how do you combat hyperhydrosis? I've tried all sorts of antiperspirants that won't stain and works like a Clydesdale. What do you suggest?
I use half the recommended amount of tide (white bottle), two tablespoons of baking soda in the wash, and use one half to one cup of white vinegar to the final rinse. Been doing this for three years or more and all the whites look like new. Colours look great too. It takes a few washes to remove all traces of odour. No fabric softener or dryer sheet needed. Plain, simple, cheap, effective.
My underarm stains are a dark color like charcoal. I have been using the dryer to dry 6 shirts all the time. Just finding out about this. Is it worth it to try to remove the stains at this point? Can I take white undershirts to the dry cleaner?
You can try a paste made of Cream of Tartar and Hydrogen Peroxide on yellow pit stains caused by the aluminum salts in anti-perspirants. But unfortunately they are most often permanent. Used to be I had to throw out white shirts after the second or third wear. About a decade ago I stopped using products with aluminum. I now have a white linen shirt going into it's seventh summer, still looking like new.
A 50% solution of ammonia and water in a spray bottle will work on many organic stains (such as ring around the collar or soiled white socks and underwear). Just spray it on, but try not to breath the ammonia. Let it soak for 5 to 10 minutes. Then toss it in the wash. It may require several washes for deep stains to be removed.
This is why many wear undershirts so as to not stain the main shirt. Too much yellow? Throw out buy new pack. I’m sure some ppl doesn’t like the look of white crew neck undershirt showing on a polo’s neck area, but what can be done? We sweat, that’s it. I’ve honestly never wore a polo or other shirt on its own, sucks in the summer. 🤷🏻♂️
The absolute best deodorant for protecting your clothes while keeping you odor-free is all-natural crystal deodorant. It works well, is an extremely eco-friendly option, lasts an incredibly long time so it's absurdly economical, doesn't cause irritation, and best of all it leaves absolutely ZERO build-up, residue, discolouration, or staining on clothes. It's a deodorant, not an antiperspirant, so you'll still sweat, but it's a powerful antibacterial and bacteria is what causes body odour, not sweat itself. It's the only thing I trust with my precious 1940s garments.

Thanks for your kind words! I'm glad that viewers find my contributions helpful.
- Preston
I never knew Preston received hate mail. I’ve been watching for about 5 years now, and he has always been one of my preferred presenters.
Kinda shocked to hear that anybody would hate him. He's my favorite presenter.
Preston was big pimpin from Day 1.
It just took longer to accept him because the human mind can’t always immediately handle such pimposity.
@@grumblekinquite so
Preston is quite informed in everything gentlemanly!

What is gall soap and pile soap

Beard looks great, very flattering !
Edit - oh, and thank you for the info, hqha!
Okay Professor Preston, NOT skipping the first 3:18 was worth my time! Good job as always.
Loving the beard, Preston! Thanks for the video.
I rarely experience stains, but when I do, I use colourless dish washing soap.
It works wonders, and it’s made to break down proteins.

Could you do a video on hyperhidrosis & classic style?

Finally a real video from you guys
Excellent diction, Preston!
Preston, would you mind sharing where your polo is from?

How do you manage to not sweat a a lot more by wearing an additional layer?
Oxalic acid, found in wc cleaner, worked partially

Very useful, guys! As a teen with that signature puberty sweatiness, it’s very useful!!! 😂😂😂

Using an aluminum free, same brand, deodorant changed solved all of it for me
Why not use citric acid instead of vinegar. No smell and mix with water. Also great for removing scale kettles and coffee machines without taste
I can’t believe the deodorant manufacturers cannot change the formula in a way it won’t stain your shirt.
Thanks ❣️🧙
Preston goes full Bro Science with the biological matrices breakdown.

Polos can be put in the washer though. Why would that be a problem?
I started doing the exact same thing years ago when I noticed the yellowing in my shirts.
@@user-yv4mm6bx3c baking soda+water gets rid of most discolouration

How to remove sweat stains ... no deodorant use ... or maybe alum blocks ?
How Greta remove the stains of whatever ?
I find that clear, solid, deodorant-only deodorants work best to avoid shirt stains. By the way, I sweat... alot. 😓 😅✌🏾
Have you tried Certain Dri? My friend suggested it to me and it works.
1:22 im sorry what
Sebum - feel free to Google, no typos were made in today's video 😉
@@gentlemansgazette You can't spell Aluminium ... or say it 😁
I would have thought this video would have been released before the one on how to remove blood stains. 😅
We had Patrick Bateman in mind with our release order of these videos! 😅 Hope you found it useful!

Aluminum deodorant is gross.
I love natural & musky men ❤
