Natural Bleach Alternative

Whiten and brighten your clothes naturally with our natural bleach alternative soak recipe.

Benefits: Hydrogen peroxide, lemon juice, and washing soda are all effective natural bleaches.

Tips and Tricks: You may have seen recipes recommending a combo of hydrogen peroxide and vinegar, but be sure to avoid this combo!

When combined, the two ingredients create peracetic acid, which is corrosive and can cause irritation.

Variations: For a whitening laundry boost, add 1⁄2 cup washing soda to your load of laundry. This won’t be as intense as our bleach soak, but does help to whiten and brighten.

Level of Difficulty: Easy
