We’ve covered several other DIY and Homemade Laundry recipes here on TFF and today we’re dishing a deeply discounted oxiclean recipe.
Let’s start with the ingredients:
- ½ Cup Washing Soda
- ½ Cup Hydrogen Peroxide
Once mixed together the hydrogen peroxide and washing soda only remain effective for up to 6 hours. If it sits around, it will loose its potency.
Laundry Booster:
So what I do is leave the two ingredients separated in my laundry room and add them directly to a load of laundry. For maximum effectiveness you need to let the clothes soak in the solution for an hour or two.
Spot Treatment:
You can also mix the washing soda and hydrogen peroxide directly on the clothing for spot treatment and then throw them in the wash. I would only use about a teaspoon of each depending on the size of the stop you are treating.

Does this recipe result in actual oxiclean, or is this more of an oxiclean substitute?

They have an L.A. Awesome version of Oxi Clean at our dollar store. I feel like it does the same job. I put it in the laundry set on prewash…love the results. At $1 I get quite a few loads…I think it averages out to less than this recipe. If you have a dollar tree in your area, I recommend trying it out!
