They meant it when they said All-Purpose. This color safe bleach alternative can be used to clean everything from cookware to outdoor cushions, rugs and fade away those pesky yellow armpit stains. Seriously, I pretreated all my white t-shirts with this last week and they look brand new!

Simply cover the yellow stains with a small amount of their Stain Solution, add approximately a capful of the All-Purpose Bleach Alternative and rub together, forming a powerful paste. Soak in hot water for 15 minutes. Add a capful of All-Purpose Bleach Alternative to your washing machine and wash as normal. Stains are GONE!

Oh, and did I mention you can use it to deodorize your carpets?! Sprinkle on, allow to sit for 15 minutes, then vacuum. DONE!

Bringing stained items to the dry cleaner can actually set the stain in further because of all the chemicals and heat they use. Plus, up to 90% of fabrics considered dry clean are washable, so save the trip and your item. A good trick is after pretreating with Stain Solution or Wash & Stain Bar, hold the stained spot under water pressure (like a faucet) to help work the stain.

Every once in a while, to banish set in odors on activewear, I’ll soak my gear in a basin with 1/4 capful of Scented Vinegar. The Scented Vinegar is amazing because it has all the same cleaning properties of regular vinegar but contains calming essential oils that counteract the strong smell. Toss your gear into the machine with the Sports Wash and you’re good to go!
