There are many uses for this natural bleach!

1. Homemade natural bleach can be used all over your house, not just in your laundry! Not only does this
make whites even whiter, it safely brightens colors too! There is no need to dilute this bleach. It can be used in your
bath, shower, sink, and even toilet cleaning!

2. For tough stains, soak clothing in a bucket of this natural bleach alternative overnight. Alternately, you
can spray this onto the stain and let it soak.

3. For whiter whites and brighter colors add 1/2 cup – 2 cups during the bleach cycle or into your bleach
container in your washer

4. Use this mixture in your cloth diaper soak bucket for better germ killing power and white diapers.

5. This makes a great spray disinfectant in the kitchen, killing 99.9% bacteria

6. Combine this with baking soda or borax into a paste and use to scrub tile and grout clean

7. Use this as a glass and mirror cleaner in a spray bottle

8. Fill the toilet bowl with this natural bleach alternative and then add some baking soda. Swish around in the bowl and

then let sit 5 to 10 minutes before flushing clean.

9. Pour a cup of this in the bottom of your dishwasher for extra cleaning power. You can also use this as a rinse aid.

10. Add baking soda to form a paste and use as a natural soft scrub with bleach!

Note: Though there are many recipes on the internet that utilize vinegar instead of lemon juice, I chose not to make this
combination because when hydrogen peroxide and vinegar are combined they form peracetic acid, a strong oxidizing agent
that is used for high-level disinfection in cleaning. While this is a great natural cleaner, studies have shown that it can be
very harsh on skin, so I do not use this in my laundry. This combination works great in the kitchen, though!
