Got blood stains? This simple hack will save your sheets and the planet.
We've all been there. You nick yourself shaving or wake up with a nosebleed, and suddenly, your pristine white sheets look like a crime scene. But before you grab harsh chemical cleaners or toss those linens, check out this genius trick that'll have your bedding looking fresh in no time.
The scoop
Australian cleaning guru Chantel Mila Ibbotson (@mama_mila_au) shared a hack for banishing blood stains using ingredients you probably already have at home.
"You've ever had blood stains on your linen? Use a simple trick to remove it," Chantel explains in her video.
"Just add white vinegar or hydrogen peroxide to the stain and you should see it lightening straight away. Then, add it to your wash with a quarter cup of salt to draw up the stain, wash as usual, and stains disappear."
How it's helping
Instead of shelling out for pricey stain removers or replacing stained sheets, you can tackle tough marks with pantry staples. Vinegar costs just pennies per use, while hydrogen peroxide is only a few bucks for a big bottle.
But the benefits go beyond saving Washingtons. By opting for natural cleaners, you're keeping harsh chemicals out of waterways and reducing plastic waste from store-bought stain removers.
In fact, you can substitute natural cleaning solutions for most chemical-laden solutions populating store shelves. Try using baking soda and liquid soap to melt away shower grime or sun-drying your pillows. Small changes like these add up to a significant impact when we all pitch in.
