This weird but wonderful household use for a disinfectant works thanks to hydrogen peroxide's ability to release oxygen, Karina says. The hydrogen peroxide will work alongside the detergent to help brighten and whiten the clothes.’ Proceed to start the washing cycle as you normally would, using your regular laundry detergent. ‘Add the measured hydrogen peroxide directly into the bleach dispenser of your washing machine or dilute the hydrogen peroxide with water and pour it directly into the drum before adding it to your clothes. If you have a larger load, you can adjust the amount accordingly,’ Karina explains. ‘For a standard-sized load of laundry, measure out about a cup (eight ounces) of hydrogen peroxide. You can also use it to make white laundry whiter, especially when it has grayed. Apply a small amount of hydrogen peroxide directly to the stained area, gently rub or blot with a clean cloth, and allow it to sit for a few minutes before laundering.’ ‘Before adding hydrogen peroxide to the entire load when doing laundry, you can use it as a pre-treatment for stubborn stains. It is not just hard grout and ceramic sinks that hydrogen peroxide works wonders on, but fabric stains too, continues Karina Toner, cleaning expert and operations manager at Spekless Cleaning.
