Your DIY stain remover will last longer if stored in a dark, cold area.
How Magic Is Based on Science
Have you ever pondered the secret of this combo's success? Now we can dissect it:
Surfactants include detergents such as our dishwashing liquid. They are effective because they remove dirt and grease from clothes. The remaining chemicals will have an easier time reaching the stain because of this.
The acids in stains can be neutralized by reacting them with baking soda, which is also known as sodium bicarbonate. In addition to lifting the stain off the cloth, this reaction creates a fizzing effect.
Gentle hydrogen peroxide is an agent for bleaching. The color components in stains are broken down by its oxidizing capabilities, making them vanish.
When combined, these three substances form an effective stain remover that is mild on materials yet powerful on stains.
