Budget-Friendly Solution to Stubborn Laundry Stains: DIY Cleaning Paste
Laundry woes often leave many frustrated, particularly the infamous underarm stains that can ruin white shirts. Many resort to purchasing new t-shirts rather than dealing with the discoloration caused by sweat and deodorant. However, professional cleaner Sophie Webb, popular on Instagram with over 900,000 followers, has discovered a cost-effective solution that could save both money and clothing.
Sophie recently shared a simple cleaning paste recipe using just four ingredients: baking soda, dish soap, hydrogen peroxide, and warm water. In her tutorial, she states, “I’ve been asked so many times how to remove stubborn armpit stains, and I finally found what works! Say goodbye to embarrassing yellow stains.”
To create the powerful mixture, Sophie recommends combining 1 cup of baking soda, ¼ cup of dish soap, 3 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide, and 3 tablespoons of warm water. Ingredients are easily accessible at local stores like Woolworths and Coles, with prices ranging from $1.40 to $4.30.
For effective stain removal, simply apply the paste to the affected area, let it sit for 30 minutes, and then wash in cold water. Sophie has been using this method for years, and observed that the baking soda and hydrogen peroxide combination breaks down stains effectively, even tackling stubborn mould.
Beyond armpit stains, this versatile paste is also effective for cleaning rust stains, mould, soap scum, and limescale. Sophie advises testing the mixture on a small, inconspicuous area first to avoid any potential damage.
Followers of Sophie’s DIY cleaning solution have called it a “game changer,” praising its effectiveness and versatility. For anyone facing similar laundry challenges, this budget-friendly solution could be just what you need to revive your wardrobe.
