Homemade Stain Remover Recipe
Ingredients:
1 part Dawn dishwashing detergent
2 parts hydrogen peroxide
1 part baking soda
Instructions:
Mix Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the Dawn dishwashing detergent, hydrogen peroxide, and baking soda. Stir until it forms a paste.
Apply to Stain: Apply the mixture directly to the stain on the fabric. If the stain is particularly tough or set-in, you might want to gently scrub the area with an old toothbrush or a soft brush to help the mixture penetrate deeper into the fibers.
Let Sit: Allow the mixture to sit on the stain for at least an hour, or for tough stains, leave it overnight. For delicate fabrics, check periodically to ensure there is no discoloration or damage.
