I've gathered two favorite ways to brighten clothes, towels, and sheets and remove stains without harsh chemicals. Here are my favorite methods, one a soaking solution and the other a solution you can add directly to the wash cycle in the washer machine.
Add all the ingredients to a large bucket or sink. Whisk the ingredients into the water to dissolve.
Soak your garment(s) in the solution for at least 30 minutes, ideally overnight, for dingy or stained garments.
Remove the garments from the soaking solution (discard). Wash the garment with warm/hot water and laundry soap in the washing machine.
Natural Bleach for the Washing Machine
Add the hydrogen peroxide directly to your washer machine bleach compartment.
No bleach dispenser? Add the hydrogen peroxide directly to the drum of your washing machine after it fills with water. Never pour hydrogen peroxide directly on garments without diluting it in water.
