Start Using Hydrogen Peroxide To Clean Your Laundry And Thank Us Later
By TRICIA GOSS
For fresh, clean laundry, turn to hydrogen peroxide, a simple, affordable cleaning agent that will tackle tough stains while ensuring your clothes remain vibrant and intact.
Apply a small amount of hydrogen peroxide to stains for 10 to 15 minutes before washing as usual. For stubborn spots, mix it with baking soda for some extra stain-fighting power.
During your wash cycle, toss in a cup of hydrogen peroxide to brighten dull whites, or add a ½ cup each of vinegar and peroxide to eliminate sweat, body odors, and mildew.
Soak stronger-smelling items in hydrogen peroxide and water for at least 15 minutes before washing. While it’s safe, general precautions should be taken when handling the chemical.
