If you should ever find yourself without bleach, or you just need a septic-safe alternative, it’s surprisingly easy to mix your own.

Household weblog One Good Thing By Jillee shares a custom recipe for homemade bleach, utilizing only water, lemon juice, and hydrogen peroxide. The advantage of Jillee’s recipe over other homemade bleach mixtures is that it doesn’t require you to combine vinegar and hydrogen peroxide, the combination of which forms Peracetic Acid. This is a fine disinfectant, but can cause serious eye and skin irritation, so it shouldn’t be used on sheets or clothes.

Jillee’s simple solution compared favorably to commercial bleach, both as a detergent and as a kitchen disinfectant. Be sure to check out the source link for the complete recipe.
