3. Remove stubborn stains
This is one of the best hydrogen peroxide hacks, and we are here to tell you all about it. Let’s say that your favorite shirt has a mysterious stain on it that you haven’t managed to clean with professional products. What now? Well, you can use a little bit of hydrogen peroxide, and you can be sure the stain will be gone in no time.
You will have to create a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and dish soap: 2 parts hydrogen peroxide and 1 part dish soap. Take a toothbrush, dip it into the solution, and gently dab it on the stain. Keep this in mind, and don’t add too much product.
Let it sit for 10 minutes because this will allow the hydrogen peroxide to break down the stain. You might need to repeat it on stubborn stains. When you are done, wash the clothes as usual, and the stain will be gone.

A lot of times I use peroxide to clean my cell phone. I heard cell phones can have more germs than a toilet seat. I spray a soft cloth with the peroxide and it sparkles and is sanitized at the same time. Cheaper than glass cleaner or wipes.
Hydrogen peroxide on other than cotton may stain. It may leave a yellow mark on a white fabric.
I add a cup of peroxide to every load of laundry I wash, and I’ve never had any problems with discoloration. In fact, it gets out any blood or other “bodily fluids” that could be lurking in your laundry (little Jimmy had a nose bleed, but didn’t want to get in trouble so he put the shirt at the bottom of the basket, or your best friend had to much to drink last weekend and you didn’t realize what was splattering on the cuffs of your blue jeans when you held her hair like a best friend should) without having to pretreat the spot. I also put Dawn liquid in every load for the grease spots we don’t notice when we drop a french fry or a bite of chicken on our shirt at lunch – it just plain works on everything I wash.
My husband and I both take blood thinners and therefore wehave ongoing issues with blood spots on our clothes. Accidents happen. I asked a nurse at our Doctors office how they keep the blood off their uniforms and shoes after surgeries. They sail always use some hydrogen peroxide on the blood as soon as possible and wash in washer thst evening to avoid the chemical eating into the fabrics. Works great for us!!
