Homemade Stain Remover
The following Best Savings Tip comes from reader, Sarah:
I found a recipe for a homemade stain remover using things you probably already have around the house. I just started using this but I normally use stain remover. Mix together the following ingredients:
- 2 cups, Water
- 1 cup, Peroxide
- 1 cup, Baking Soda
I keep mine in the laundry room in an old water bottle. Give it a good shake before using it because the baking soda settles at the bottom. Pour the mixture on stains and let it soak for an hour or overnight. Mix this together a few times and it costs about $6 per container and saves $15-$20 a year.
Do you have a homemade recipe you use versus buying?

If your stain has any grease or other fat content, plain old Dawn dishsoap is a great stain remover. If it can gently remove crude oil from birds you can be fairly certain it won’t damage your clothes. This has been a life saver for my kid’s clothes!
Wow, this could save me tons of money. Your post and what Janet commented are two things I gotta try.
I have watered down Dawn I use too…only once (when the white shirt got lost for about 3 wks LOL) did it leave some blue color behind & that was taken out by bleach.
Would the peroxide bleach any colored clothes? I routinely get Spaghettio’s & Chef Boyardee stains that don’t come out, but they are on colored cotton
