Directions

  1. Since Sunshine is probably not a computer friendly word in the database of ingredients for a recipe site, I'll just add it as a footnote.
  2. Otherwise it would be listed as an ingredient.
  3. Pour 1/2 cup of lemon juice or squeeze two lemons into a half-full laundry tub of hot water.
  4. (if you're doing a full load, add twice as much lemon).
  5. Soak your clothes for an hour or overnight, then put them through the wash cycle.
  6. Add the juice of one more lemon to the rinse cycle, then hang your clothes in the sun to dry.
  7. Lemon and sunshine combine to make nature's best bleach, and so far, nothing the detergent industry has come up with can top it.
