WHAT IS OXYGEN BLEACH?

Oxygen bleach is the common term for sodium percarbonate, a compound of natural soda crystals and hydrogen peroxide.It is widely available in detergents and other cleaning products and comes in a solid, powder-like form, usually diluted in water before use. Once oxygen bleach comes in contact with water, a chemical reaction occurs and the substance releases oxygen, this is often used in stain removal, as the oxygen bubbles help to break down dirt, odours, and germs. Oxygen bleach powder is considered environmentally friendly, as the only by-product is soda ash, a non-toxic substance, which is safe for the water supply.

Oxygen bleach is best for tackling organic stains on clothing, such as food and drink, grass, dirt, and bodily fluids, like sweat. Though it can reduce the appearance of oil, grease, and synthetic stains, it may not always remove them completely.

Oxygen bleach is a versatile product and can also be used on a variety of materials from plastic to wood. It’s often employed in household tasks – for example, for sanitising tools, or cleaning bins and pet litter trays. Remember to always test applications of oxygen bleach on a small area first, and consult the manufacturer’s instructions for detailed information on where and how you can use their product.

HOW TO USE OXYGEN BLEACH

Pre-Wash Treatment:

  1. Mix one to two tablespoons in a gallon of water.
  2. Leave stained items to soak for up to an hour.
  3. Tough or old stains can be soaked overnight, or treated with an additional two tablespoons of oxygen bleach in the pre-wash solution.

Brightener:

  1. Add a tablespoon or scoop in with your normal detergent.
  2. Be sure to refer to the product’s instructions.
  3. Oxygen bleach should not be used on delicate fabrics like silk or wool.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHLORINE BLEACH & OXYGEN BLEACH?

Chlorine bleach is not the same as oxygen bleach, chlorine bleach is a liquid product mainly composed of sodium hypochlorite. It is an effective disinfectant that can also be used in the treatment of stubborn stains and various other jobs around the home. Chlorine bleach is also a much more corrosive substance than oxygen bleach and should be handled with care and kept away from children.

Oxygen bleach is safer to use on coloured fabrics than chlorine bleach, oxygen bleach powder can be mixed with other detergents, but it is not safe to do this with chlorine bleach.
