In a traditional home, we don’t need synthetic chemicals to keep our linens bright. We rely on the “fizzing power” of oxygen. When you combine Hydrogen Peroxide with Baking Soda, you create a chemical reaction that lifts organic stainsโlike grass, blood, or foodโout of fibers as if by magic.
The Two-Ingredient “Oxi” Paste
This mixture is particularly powerful for whites and color-fast fabrics that have lost their luster.
Baking Soda: Acts as the “drawing” agent and a gentle abrasive.
Hydrogen Peroxide (3%): Acts as the oxygen-based brightener that breaks the bond of the stain.
How to Prepare and Use
The Mix: In a small glass bowl, mix two parts Baking Soda with one part Hydrogen Peroxide until it forms a thick, wet paste.
The Application: Spread the paste directly onto the stain. For stubborn areas like collar stains or underarms, rub it in gently with your fingertips.
The Activation: Let it sit for at least 30 minutes. During this time, the oxygen is “lifting” the debris to the surface.
The Wash: Rinse with cool water or toss the item into your regular wash.
The Complete “Clean Home” Philosophy
This stain-fighter is the final piece of your home-care toolkit. It pairs perfectly with the other “worth their weight in gold” habits we’ve established:
For the Air: Use your Salted Orange Peels to draw out odors and purify the room.
For Surfaces: Use your Citrus-Infused Vinegar to degrease and sanitize.
For Fabrics: Use this Peroxide and Soda paste to keep your clothes as clean as your internal system.
