1) Add to Laundry for clothes that need an extra clean
- To use natural bleach as a general laundry boost: Add 1 to 2 tablespoons (depending on how soiled the items are) of natural bleach powder to the dispenser drawer of your washing machine, along with the usual dosage of your standard laundry detergent.
You can use natural bleach just like standard (chlorine) bleach, to clean toilets and disinfect surfaces.
-
Mix a couple of spoonfuls of natural bleach powder with warm water (about 4 tablespoons per litre of water, but follow the instructions on your packet).
-
Stir well until the powder has dissolved and is just starting to froth.
-
Either pour the natural bleach solution directly onto areas that need cleaning (such as the toilet bowl) or decant it into a spray bottle to use as a surface cleaner.
-
After applying the natural bleach to a surface, leave it to work for 10-15 minutes before scrubbing, wiping or rinsing off
Note that unlike chlorine bleach, natural bleach breaks down into its consituent parts and becomes inactive within 4 to 6 hours, so you need to mix up a fresh batch of natural bleach for each cleaning session. You can't mix up a large batch and save some in a bottle for another day.
