First of all, what if you don't have a top-loading washing machine to soak your towels in hydrogen peroxide? If you have one, don't worry! You can use a large basin or even a bathtub for this trick. Fill the basin with warm water, add hydrogen peroxide, and soak your towels for 15-30 minutes. Once soaking is done, wring out the towels and throw them in your top-loading washing machine and run it through a regular wash cycle.
Now, let's talk safety. You might be worried about how hydrogen peroxide will affect your washing machine. Luckily, hydrogen peroxide is extremely gentle on both fabrics and equipment. It breaks down into water and oxygen, so it leaves no harmful residue behind. And fun fact: hydrogen peroxide is commonly used as a cleaning agent and disinfectant in many household detergents, so your washing machine will be sparkling clean after using it.
But what happens if you mix hydrogen peroxide into your detergent? Is it a recipe for disaster? Luckily, the answer is no. It's completely safe to use hydrogen peroxide alongside your regular laundry detergent. For best results, add half a cup of hydrogen peroxide to the bleach compartment of your washing machine, so it's released at the right time during the wash cycle. Your towels will be cleaner, brighter and fresher than ever before.
