Making your own laundry stain remover and pretreatment products is easy to do at home. By opting to mix your own cleaners you can more easily control the ingredients used and produce a potentially less toxic alternative to commercial products. This page contains homemade laundry stain remover and pretreater recipes.
If you mix 1 part Dawn dish washing liquid with 2 parts hydrogen peroxide you have the best spot remover! This is probably the only cleaner you will ever need. Either spray or pour on the spot and watch it disappear. Some stains you will need to leave on for awhile. Rinse when it disappears. Love it, it really works.

I found this a few years ago and have been using it ever since. It works great and is inexpensive: Fill a water bottle with warm water and add about a quarter cup of inexpensive shampoo. Mix and keep in laundry room to pretreat stains before washing.

I am looking for a natural laundry stain remover, that I can made at home. I would like something that is chemical free.

I keep a bottle of hydrogen peroxide in my laundry room. It works well for non-greasy stains. Dish soap or mechanic's hand cleaner (such as ' Go Joe' ) is good for greasy stains. I also keep a bottle of cheap bio-friendly carpet stain remover for stubborn stains.
