Hydrogen Peroxide And Laundry - Use It To Brighten Your Clothes

Below is a video giving a hydrogen peroxide laundry use -- to brighten and remove stains from your laundry.

You can use hydrogen peroxide in your laundry as a substitute for chlorine bleach to whiten your clothes.

In fact, color safe bleach is comprised mainly of hydrogen peroxide, along with some additional additives such as brighteners.

The video suggests adding eight ounces of a 3% solution of hydrogen peroxide to each load of laundry.

The 3% solution of hydrogen peroxide is the kind you buy at the drug store for first aid, in the brown bottle, not the stronger stuff you use to bleach your hair.

3% solution of hydrogen peroxide
by: Taylor @ Stain-Removal-101.com

Judy, thanks for the question. When I say to use a 3% solution of hydrogen peroxide I mean the hydrogen peroxide you get in the brown bottles for first aid.

When you buy it this way it is already diluted to 3%, so you do not need to dilute it further, unless instructions on the site say to add it to a solution of water.

Hope this helps!

How do you dilute to 3%?
