Supplies:
I used a small plastic spray bottle (you can get a set of 3 from Dollar Tree)

Castile Soap (I use Dr. Bronner’s)
Hydrogen Peroxide (I got mine from the Dollar Tree)
Tablespoon for measuring
Tips
Here are a few quick tips to make your DIY stain remover even better:
- Test First – Always test the stain remover on a small, hidden area of fabric first, just to make sure it doesn’t cause any discoloration. Better safe than sorry!
- Use Right Away – Stains are easier to remove when they’re fresh. As soon as a spill happens, grab your stain remover and saturate the spot. Letting it sit for too long could make the stain harder to lift.
- Double Up – If you’re dealing with a stubborn stain, let the remover sit a bit longer (up to 10 minutes) before washing. For really tough stains, you can repeat the process as needed!
- Reusable Bottle – Since this stain remover is easy to make, keep a small spray bottle handy for quick access. You can wash and refill it as needed—super convenient and eco-friendly!
- Shake Before Use – The ingredients can settle in the bottle, so give it a good shake before each use to make sure everything is well mixed for maximum stain-fighting power.
