going through old clothes from high school, and my pubescent armpits really did a number on some of these shirts. how does this happen? (first time posting here i hope i picked the correct flair)
In: Biology
Sweat has a Ph balance of 4-5.5 depending on the person/diet/other factors. (Pure water is a 7 Ph/Not acidic or alkaline) *The Ph of 4-5.5 is acidic, causing the bleaching effect on fabrics!*
Funfacts: Urine has an observed Ph range of 4.5-8, allowing sweat to remain the most acidic human excrement and liquid.
