3 Different Uses For Hydrogen Peroxide

Everyone knows by now you can clean with baking soda and vinegar, but often people don't think about hydrogen peroxide as an ingredient for cleaning.  This stuff is frugal, Eco-friendly, and really can produce amazing results for both your laundry and for cleaning around your home.


Hydrogen peroxide is a type of oxygen bleach, which means as you'll see from the uses listed below, it's got a lot of laundry uses, as well as cleaning uses.

It is typically color safe, just like other oxygen bleaches like oxiclean.  That concentration is 3% solution which you can find in the brown bottle in your drugstore, typically in the first aid aisle.

Uses For Hydrogen Peroxide

1.  Brighten clothes as alternative to bleach. Instead of adding either chlorine or oxygen bleach, you can add 1 cup of hydrogen peroxide to your washing machine as a natural, Eco-friendly bleach.

2.  Versatile DIY pretreat stain remover.  If you enjoy making your own laundry products don't forget this easy recipe for a versatile stain remover--2 parts hydrogen peroxide to 1 part dish soap.  You can mix this recipe together and keep in an opaque spray bottle and use in a similar fashion to any other laundry pretreater.

3.  Remove red wine stains.  Red wine is known as a quite difficult stain to remove, but a simple recipe that works extremely well to remove these tough stains is equal parts hydrogen peroxide and dish soap.  Spray the mixture on the stain and allow it to sit for three hours, and then wash with cool water.
