Homemade Stain Remover
Ingredients
- one part Dawn dish-washing liquid soap (I usually use 1 tablespoon)
- two parts hydrogen peroxide (I usually use 2 tablespoons)
- 1-2 tablespoons baking soda (I usually use 1 tablespoon)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the ingredients together.
- Use a small brush to scrub the mixture into the stained area. Rinse, then launder as usual.
- For tougher stains, let the mixture sit on the stained garment for an hour or so, then launder. Or treat the area a few times before laundering.
Notes
I recommend doing a test on an inconspicuous part of the garment first to make sure that the spot remover will not harm the fabric. Hydrogen peroxide can be tough on fabric. Peroxide is sensitive to light, hence the dark bottles, so it is best to mix this up in small amounts as needed for each time.

I searched on Google for homemade laundry stain remover, and this was what I found. It sounds pretty good to me. I am going to try it the next time I do laundry. If it works, then I will have an alternative to having to buy stain remover, and an added bonus that I am able to use all of the ingredients for other things as well. I will post an update to let you know how it worked for me. This was on the http://fabulesslyfrugal.com/homemade-stain-remover-picture-tutorial/ website.
