I have tried many stain removers over the years sometimes with good results and sometimes not. I have been trying a lot of DIY recipes for cleaning products lately and this one definitely works. I tried it on a set in stain {mud} on a white sock that I had soaked in bleach and used several store bought stain removers on without any success. I also used this directly in the wash water with socks that I usually add bleach to but omitted the bleach today and did not soak the soaks ~ I just added 1/2 cup of the detergent booster to the hot water and laundered as usual.
I recycled a creamer bottle to use for my stain remover marking the side accordingly so that when I make this mixture again I don’t have to get out a measuring cup….just fill my ingredients to the appropriate markings.
DIY Laundry Stain Remover {Pre~Treatment} and Detergent Booster
1 part baking soda
1 part hydrogen peroxide
2 parts water
Add all ingredients to container and shake. You can use this in a spray bottle or another container of your choice.
***Caution: if you are using this in a container with a tight fitting lid be careful when you open the container, it does ‘pop’ open ~ not violently by any means but hold the container away from your face and eyes when opening just to avoid any problems.
This is out of the dryer ~ I am going to use the stain remover again the next time I launder this sock and this time let is sock for a few minutes before washing. I’ll update the post when I do this. : )
