I am on a mission for information.
It seems like since I committed whole-heartedly to this homemaking thing, I can't put the book down.
I am currently reading, "Feather Your Nest" by Cerentha Harris. She was formerly on staff at Martha Stewart Living Magazine, and is now a stay-at-home mom. I really dig her sense of style and organization. I am not anal-retentive enough to do a great deal of her ideas. Although, I total respect and enjoy her bio-friendly ideas, tips and tricks.
Here is one I snagged from her chapter on laundry:
"Bleach Alternatives
Hydrogen Peroxide - use a solution of 1 part hydrogen peroxide to 6 parts water. It's a milder bleach and can be used were normal bleach can't (wool, silks, and other delicate fabrics). Always check the care label and test a patch of clothing before using.
Lemon Juice - a mild natural bleach and well worth trying before you use stronger chemicals.
Sunlight - a natural bleach. You can try hanging sheets and towels out on a hot sunny day to see if the stains break down." - pulled from page 284.
