    PLEASE don’t use H²O² on textiles unless you want to bleach them. And grease is usually an oil and as such you can just use soap or any other surfactant.

    The part about voting is true tho’.

      As long as you thoroughly flush the hydrogen peroxide out fairly quickly after using it (I shoot for under a minute) then it shouldn’t bleach your clothes. Although if it’s something really expensive I would do a test somewhere less noticeable first.

      Hmm, perhaps I got lucky with my one work shirt - it was already a light red, and I didn’t notice any dimming when I used a bunch of hydrogen peroxide on it to get a handful of blood out. Maybe it’s just darker things?

          I… maybe? It sure looks like it’s got a tab on top like a beverage, but sodium carbonate is a surfactant, so good point!

            Old school washing soda came with a tab lid you’d pull off.

            So did Comet powdered chlorine bleach. I remember because I was made to clean the bath tub with that as a kid

              Whoa, you’ve got the eldritch knowledge. That’s back before Comet had the dispenser holes in the lid like a bottle of parmesan cheese.

              Don’t confuse the two. Worst spaghetti I ever ate.
