Oxygen bleach is a laundry booster that can be used directly in the washing machine to help clean soiled clothing and improve the performance of laundry detergents.
1/2cuphydrogen peroxide3%, this is the stuff you find in most grocery stores
Instructions
Turn on the washing machine, allow the water to fill the basin 1/4-1/2 way full. Add each ingredient to the water (preferably hot water), along with the laundry soap, and swish (use your hand or a wooden spoon).
Continue filling the washer with water until you reach the desired level.
Once the ingredients are dissolved, add the clothes. Proceed to wash the clothes according to your washing machine's cycle.
Notes
For soiled or extra stinky clothes (not ones that require extra whitening or stain removal--this recipe isn't a complete stain remover), soak the clothes in the solution for 30 minutes -1 hour before adding the laundry soap and running the washer.
This recipe is used in my house as a regular laundry booster (to aid my laundry soap in getting rid of dirt or odors). For clothes that need extra whitening, I use my homemade bleach alternative.
For clothes with stains, I use my homemade stain remover, then toss the clothing in the washing machine (along with other clothes, if possible) with this formula. The laundry booster helps lift the stain, if the stain remover needs a bit more of a boost.
