Instead of using bleach to brighten my white laundry, I use lemon juice. I have found it to be very effective! Anytime I wash a load of whites, I add a splash of lemon juice. I also use lemon juice as a spot-treatment or pre-soak for stains. It works beautifully… and it’s all-natural! I buy my lemon juice in large bottles at the dollar store, so it’s very affordable as well.
Do you have any laundry tips to share?
Ive never heard of this!!! awesome tip!! i bet it helps add a nice scent to the laundry too.

That’s a great tip. Another way to get rid of stains is to put the lemon juice on wet items and put them in the sun! Natural stain remover 🙂
I try to stay very natural with all of my cleaning products, foods, makeup, etc. My current laundry detergent, and my favorite from all that I have tried, is Rockin’ Green Cloth Diaper Detergent. That stuff is amazing 🙂 Though it is NOT a stain remover, so pre-soaking or spot treating is necessary.
If you ever wonder what’s in your cosmetics and skin/hair care products, you can check out Skin Deep http://cosmeticsdatabase.com
You might be surprised what it is in your baby products too 🙂
Will try it tonight .. Thanks Aliesha
Awesome! I have NEVER heard this before!!!
My MIL told me that the sun will help with stains. Especially cloth diapers! 🙂
Congrats on your new one!
Thanks for the great tip. I don’t like to use bleach unless absolutely necessary and so I’ve been using vinegar, but lemon juice smells much better than vinegar.
