According to the Mother Nature Network, there are a number of natural ingredients that we can use to replace household bleach without breaking the bank. For lighting linens they suggest soaking your whites in water with 1/4 cup of any of the following: lemon juice, peroxide, or vinegar (don't mix). Afterwards, hang your linens in the direct sunlight to take advantage of its natural whitening power.
For stain removal, white vinegar is the way to go. Stains caused by tomatoes, sugary products, coffee, wine, mustard, grease or perspiration should be saturated in vinegar for at least ten minutes before washing. Salt or baking soda can be used to absorb fresh stains as much as possible before applying the vinegar.
And that's that! So the next time you have a stain, throw your bleach down the drain (not literally) and look to your kitchen for some eco-friendly stain removal remedies!
