Multi-Purpose DIY Natural Stain Remover

Ingredients

  • Baking Soda
  • Blue Dawn Dish Soap
  • 3% Hydrogen Peroxide

Instructions

  • Combine 2 parts hydrogen peroxide with 1 part Blue Dawn.
  • Stir in up to 2 tablespoons of baking soda to make a spreadable paste. If the mixture is too thick, add in a drop more of the peroxide. If it is too runny, stir in one more pinch of baking soda.
  • Pour or spoon the DIY all natural stain remover onto the spot.
  • Allow it to settle for a few minutes.
  • Use an old but clean toothbrush or a similar brush to lightly scrub the all natural stain remover paste into the spot on the garment.
  • Allow the paste to settle again but this time for about one hour.
  • Run water over the stain to make sure it has been removed or put the garment into the washer and launder as usual.

Notes

  • Do not put the garment into the dryer until you are positive the stain has been removed. The heat will set the stain. For particularly tough stains, the treatment process might need repeated.
  • This DIY stain remover can be stored in an airtight container for about one week before the hydrogen peroxide begins to lose its potency.
  • Store out of direct sunlight and if possible, in an amber or dark container to prolong the longevity of the hydrogen peroxide.
