What You'll Need:

• 1 tablespoon dishwashing liquid
• 1 tablespoon baking soda
• 1 tablespoon hydrogen peroxide

Directions:

1. Mix together the dishwashing liquid, baking soda, and hydrogen peroxide in a small container, creating a smooth paste. Using a clean sponge or toothbrush, gently rub the stain remover over the soiled area.

2. Once the stain has been treated, wash accordingly and then dry, revealing a nice and clean article of clothing. If working with a delicate material or if you're concerned about fading bright fabrics, then spot-test the stain remover before using. As you can see, the concoction did wonders on my oily, muddy stain!
