To bleach! I don't like using bleach. It's an irritant, the fumes are unpleasant, and it can pose a health hazard. Undiluted, bleach is corrosive and will damage many surfaces such as skin and fabrics. Did you realize that hundreds of young children suffer accidents with bleach each year? Many people with respiratory complaints find the fumes can be intolerable.
If you're like me and prefer not to have it in your home, try this tip to whiten your laundry. I can attest to the fact that it works!
Use 3 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide to your wash load and your whites will sparkle. I usually use 1/4 cup and always have wonderful results!
Note: To remove blood stains soak area with peroxide and watch them disappear! This does not work as well on set in blood stains that have been through the wash already, but it will lighten them and if you keep at it, they usually disappear.
