DIY Bleach Pen for Less Than $.25 ~ Skip the store-bought Clorox bleach pen and make your own for pennies!

Ingredients:

3/4 cup water

3 tablespoons cornstarch

3 tablespoons bleach

Instructions:

1. In a small saucepan, combine 3/4 cup of water and 3 tablespoons of cornstarch.

2. Cook the mixture over low heat until it starts to boil and thickens to a sauce-like consistency.

3. Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool completely.

4. Once cooled, add 3 tablespoons of liquid bleach to the cornstarch mixture and stir well to combine.

5. Transfer the bleach gel to a container of your choice for storage. Squeeze bottles or recycled ketchup/salad dressing bottles work well.

6. To use, apply the homemade bleach gel directly to stains on clothing or grout/caulk.

7. Let the gel sit on the stain for one minute for clothing and three minutes for grout/caulk.

8. Remove the gel with a paper towel and immediately wash clothing. For grout/caulk, wipe away the gel with a damp cloth.
