of uses for this “wonder liquid” that I have used in my household. Feel free to add your
own to the list too 🙂

* Be sure to test your fabric before using hydrogen peroxide to clean it.
I wonder if you can use the same mixture of vinegar and peroxide for getting the sour/musty smell out of shirts as well. My hubby has some work shirts that have this strange smell and I have tried everything to get it out to no avail. Have you used it on anything beside towels??
I haven’t, but I don’t see why not 😀 Try it on 1 and see how it works. Let me know how it does.
