A basic white tee is a summer afternoon's best friend -- except for that whole unfortunate potential of, eek, sweat stains.

Here, a trick to avoid yellowing for good. Oh, and it takes all of two minutes.

What you need: A couple of lemons, water, a small glass and a cheapie spray bottle (table salt, optional).

What you do: Squeeze the lemons so you fill the glass halfway with juice. Fill the other half with water so the mixture is equal parts. Pour it into a spray bottle and give it a good shake. Then, spritz the mixture on the underarms of your tee until the stained area is soaked. Gently rub the lemon juice into the fabric and the stain will start to lift. (A sprinkle of table salt will help make it easier to scrub.)

Now what? Let the lemon juice soak in for about an hour, then toss the tee in the washer to properly clean.

Wow, that was so easy: We know.
