Dawn and Hydrogen Peroxide stain Remover
I’m sure that all of you moms must feel like laundry is never-ending and trying to get rid of stains is a constant challenge. I know that in our house, even without kiddos, it feels like I’m always struggling with stains, usually food or blood. Yeah, I’m kind of clumsy in the kitchen.
I have two tips today that will make this stain business so much easier. The first is the spray that I use. It couldn’t be easier:
** 1 part Dawn dish detergent and 2 parts hydrogen peroxide **
The peroxide is the same stuff that you can get at the dollar store, pharmacy, or grocery store. I haven’t tried it with another brand, but I am pretty sure it has to be Dawn.
Okay, I have had a few requests to share this again. Please share it to your facebook timeline & groups because I may not find it the next time.
Works on every stain I’ve tried it on !!!
The ultimate stain remover that actually works on a seriously set in stain! Never buy oxyclean again!
The mixture is:
- 1 tsp. Dawn dishwashing detergent
- 3-4 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide
- Couple tablespoons of baking soda.
- Scrub on with a scrubbing brush
Instructions
Just mix in a spray bottle and then leave the top off overnight so that the Dawn can settle down. If you don’t, it might foam out of the top and make a mess. I don’t seem to have that problem if I let it settle.
Here is a before shot of my kitchen cloth with (I’m embarrassed to say) stains that have been sitting there for days. One is spaghetti sauce and the other is chicken soup broth.
I sprayed the stains, left it overnight, and then laundered as usual. Ta da! I couldn’t even figure out which side had the stain so I took pictures of all of them, lol.
For greasy stains I make one adjustment. I spray the stain and then cover the sprayed area with baby powder (quite a bit). You could probably use cornstarch as well, but I haven’t tried that out. Just leave it overnight and then launder as usual. Occasionally I will have to do this process twice for really greasy stuff, but usually once through does the trick.
If a stain isn’t too bad, I have been known to spray right before putting the soiled clothing in the way so don’t be afraid to use it that way also. What is your hardest stain to get out?
