You might be interested in Espial, which manufactures a complete
line of 100% non-toxic, green home-care products (they also have
a personal-care line with very interesting things). One of their
items is called StainOut, which I use all the time as a 'bleach':
you put in a couple of capfuls (or spray the equivalent onto stained
clothes) with each wash and, hey presto. (StainOut is also terrific
for removing stains from carpets, clothes, curtains etc.)

Espial's products aren't generally available in stores, as they
distribute through independent distributors, but it's easy to
sign up with the company and purchase at wholesale (via an 800#,
delivery through UPS). I can provide more details for anyone
who is interested.
