Bleach Alternatives

Some people just don't want to use bleach - and others can't for health reasons. Here are some alternatives to still get your clothes nice and white and clean - but without using harsh bleach in the laundry.

1/2 cup 3 percent hydrogen peroxide in the rinse cycle
1/2 cup washing soda to warm or hot water wash cycles
1/2 cup lemon juice in the rinse cycle

Tip: After clothes have spun dry in the washer, hang them to dry in the sun. Sunshine is a natural bleach.
