Is OxiClean™ Oxygen Bleach?
OxiClean™ is a brand of cleaning products for different uses in the laundry room and around the home, and some of those products do contain oxygen bleach.
OxiClean™ products like Versatile Stain Remover harness the power of oxygen to remove tough stains with a water-activated formula that helps remove grime and dirt from your clothes, carpet, and other surfaces in your home. This process, called oxidization, alters the chemical property of color in the molecule and makes stains easier to remove.
What Are the Benefits of Oxygen Bleach?
Aside from its capabilities to clean around the home and a variety of formats, oxygen bleach has the following additional benefits:
- Safe to use on all colored or patterned clothing.
- Safe for septic tanks.
- Works in all water temperatures when used as directed.
If one of your laundry items says “Do Not Use Chlorine Bleach,” you can pivot to using non-chlorine or oxygen bleach powder on these items instead! As always, follow the directions on the packaging and on your garment’s care label.
