What is Oxy bleach stain remover?
Oxy bleach, or, Oxygen bleach are common terms for Sodium per-carbonate
Oxygen bleach
Sodium per-carbonate, a compound of natural soda crystals and hydrogen peroxide. When Oxygen bleach comes in contact with water,
a chemical reaction occurs and the substance releases oxygen - producing bubbles that act to dislodge dirt and stains.
Oxygen bleach is a cleaning agent; in powder form is usually part of a Biological detergent, and also sold separately as a powder
additive with names like Oxy-power, Oxi-clean or Oxi-action stain remover that can be safely used in your Washing machine.
Also, Oxygen bleach doesn't break down the fibres in fabrics like Chlorine bleach would - plus, Oxygen bleach doesn’t have a odour.
Oxygen bleach is environmentally safe; as the only by-product is soda ash - a non-toxic substance that's safe for our water supply.
Can I use a Oxygen bleach stain remover with my colour wash?
Oxygen bleach powder is colour-safe and won't bleach white patches on dyed fabrics
as Chlorine bleach would. It can be used safely to remove dirt and stains from your coloured
laundry without fading the colours. Oxygen bleach is safe for most fabrics, although it should
never be used when washing silk or wool.
Always use Oxygen bleach in accordance with the manufacturer’s care instructions,
and especially look out for the ' DO NOT USE BLEACH ' symbol.
