How to Get Very White Laundry Without Bleach

Instructions:

Pre-Soak Your Laundry:
Fill a basin or bucket with warm water.
Add baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, and white vinegar to the water. Stir to combine.
Soak your whites in the mixture for 30 minutes to an hour.
Wash as Usual:
Transfer the pre-soaked laundry to your washing machine.
Use your regular detergent and run a cycle on warm or hot water.
For extra brightness, add another 1/4 cup of hydrogen peroxide directly into the drum.
Dry Properly:
Dry your whites in the sun whenever possible. Sunlight acts as a natural whitener and disinfectant.
Why This Works
Baking Soda: Removes stains and neutralizes odors.
Hydrogen Peroxide: Breaks down organic stains and brightens whites without damaging fabrics.
White Vinegar: Removes detergent residue and prevents yellowing.
Tips for Extra Bright Whites
Don’t Overload Your Machine: Give clothes space to move for even cleaning.
Separate Colors: Always wash whites separately to avoid color transfer.
Spot Treat Stains: For tough spots, apply a paste of baking soda and water directly to the stain before soaking.
Using this simple recipe will keep your whites looking their best, without the harshness of bleach. Give it a try, and your neighbors might be asking for your secret too! 🧺😊✨
