Here's a good question:

I believe the answer is: Who cares?
Buy one cover for your khakis and one for your flight suit. I never really had a problem w/ a sweat stain, washing it usually worked. Grease is a much more insidious hitchhiker. That and the accumulation of wholes on the rank side starts to become an issue, as well.
Spray N Wash Dual Power
Swear the stuff is magic, has gotten sweat stains out for me every time
Yeah...or if it really offends, drop the $7 for a new one
If you're using the cotton cover (which technically you should be using) with your flight suit, then you don't have to get it dry cleaned, and you can stay ahead of the stain developing. Or, you could just wash the grease out of your hair every once in a while... I mean, that's just gross.
The grease on my cover isn't from my head. This isn't he AF, our stuff is dirty and leaks.
You guys crack me up. 
Grease/sweat on your khaki piss cutter that won't come out ??? Buy another one.
Or ... if you don't like that: have two -- one for flyin' and one for "lookin' good" ...
And you can't get sweat stains out of the flight suits ??? What in the hell are they makin' them out of these days ???
Perhaps if you guys ate better you wouldn't stink so much ... ???

I took nail polish and applied it to the area around where the hole is... put the devices on, let dry. Forms a nice permanent hole that has survived over 2 years of washing... and I don't have to measure anything out to know it's correct.
I was referring to switching from single, vertical bars w/ the pins being vertical to double bars where the pins are horizontal, and then back to (god forbid) oak leaves w/ vertical pins.
Again, not a big deal to just buy a new one, but the plethora of holes does start to become noticeable.
