- 10 drops of essential oil (optional), I like lavender.
Steps:

Where to Buy Hydrogen Peroxide
Amazon has a good selection of hydrogen peroxide products. The main things to consider is the amount you need and the price.
Hydrogen Peroxide and Vinegar
NEVER mix hydrogen peroxide and vinegar. The combination of these two ingredients together produces a chemical reaction that creates peracetic acid. This type of acid is corrosive that can damage the skin, eyes, nose, throat, and lungs.
These ingredients are fine on their own but not together.
Hydrogen Peroxide for the Laundry
You can use hydrogen peroxide to remove stains, brighten whites and remove odors or mould from clothes.
Stains
You can pour it on directly to stains, especially protein (blood stains) or plant based (grass stains) before you put the clothes into the machine
Brightening Whites
You can add 1 cup of hydrogen peroxide to the bleach dispenser and this will be added during the wash cycle. Alternatively, you can add the cup before you put the clothes in the drum and it will then be mixed with the water automatically.
