Do you have a favorite shirt that you always wear that may have underarm stains or waxy build up on the shirt like my husband gets all the time?

I found this on YouTube and I tried it out on a few of my husbands shirts and low and be hold it works, at least for the waxy build up. I couldn't really tell if he had any stains because they were dark colored work shirts.
But I gathered all of his shirts that he generally wears to work and turned them all inside out so that I could have contact with the waxy build up. I followed the recipe she gave in the video: 1/4 cup baking soda and 1/4 cup hydrogen peroxide. Mixed it up in my bowl and then scrubbed on the shirts and let it sit for 30-45 minutes. I washed them like I would any other time. And BAM it was practically gone. There were a few shirts that I had to do this a few times to get the waxy build up off.
My husband no longer makes fun of me for "trying" homemade things anymore!!!

Homemade Teeth Whitening
Now I know this sounds silly, but why pay $30-$50 on teeth whitening strips when you can just make your own stuff at home!?!
In the expense of trying to save money with the home made detergent which I still have a ton of; I came across a recipe for homemade teeth whitening. It persisted of:
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp hydrogen peroxide
1/2 tsp water
little dab of toothpaste
Mix all of this in a little bowl. Dip your tooth brush in the mixture and then brush for the normal 2 recommended minutes.
**MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT SWALLOW**
It's not the best tasting mixture in the world but then again neither are some tooth pastes. After you've brushed your teeth, rinse mouth out with water.
I got all of this from a post on Pinterest. It wasn't were I could copy the link and give it that way.
So far I've done this once a week for the last 2 weeks and I've noticed that my teeth have whitened and I'm having to pay a whole lot anymore. I wish I would have taken some before and after pictures, but somehow you never really think of doing that until afterwards...or at least that's me anyways.
