I'm trying to wean my household off of commercial products (to save money, plastic, fossil fuels, etc.). Right now I'm trying to formulate a replacement for OxiClean, and this seems easy enough to do. The internet agrees with this formula:
1 cup water
1/2 cup hydrogen peroxide
1/2 cup washing soda
However, this is supposed to last only 6 hours before losing effectiveness. But commercial OxiClean is something you can buy in a bottle and leave for months. Is that stuff, in fact, less effective too, or do they have a way to make it last, and how could I accomplish this at home?
