Question from L.A.
The commercial non-chlorine bleaches seem awfully expensive for something that seems to be essentially hydrogen peroxide with a stabilizer (whatever that is). Is it possible to just dilute drugstore hydrogen peroxide and use that instead? If so, any ideas on what dilution and is it okay to store it in a bottle instead of mixing it up each time?
Debra’s Answer
It’s 1 cup hydrogen peroxide per washer load (but don’t pour it directly on clothes as it will bleach out colors like chlorine bleach).
Here’s a whole page of other household uses for hydrogen peroxide: www.h2o2-4u.com/house.html.
