Sodium Percarbonate is the active ingredient - the oxygen based laundry whitener - that is in Oxi Clean. It is a very concentrated powder that can be used to kill all manner of bacteria, moulds, dirt and mildew, to name just a few. This one chemical can be used to tackle a variety of cleaning chores, both in the home and outside.

Sodium percarbonate is also known as oxygen bleach, and is made from sodium carbonate and hydrogen peroxide. When dissolved in water, sodium hydroxide will break down into simply oxygen, water, and sodium carbonate, or soda ash.

There are a variety of advantages to using sodium percarbonate throughout the house, including that it’s easy to store and really affordable. Because sodium percarbonate is a powder, it can easily be used either on its own to scrub stains and marks, or can be made into a paste or solution to tackle other tasks. Sodium percarbonate is also much kinder to the environment than some alternatives.
