what is oxygen bleach

Oxygen bleach, also known as oxygenated bleach or all-fabric bleach, is a gentle bleaching agent that removes stains and brightens laundry. It is a natural, plant derivative product called sodium percarbonate, made from sodium carbonate and hydrogen peroxide. Unlike traditional bleach, oxygen bleach uses much gentler sodium percarbonate to get the job done, and when mixed with water, the simple contents break down to hydrogen peroxide, essentially water and oxygen plus sodium carbonate or soda ash. Oxygen bleach can be used safely on colored or patterned clothing, and all without a strong odor. It removes stains but is gentle on fabrics when used as directed. Oxygen bleach is an all-fabric bleach that is color-safe, whereas chlorine bleach can remove the color of clothes. It is also eco-friendly, biodegradable, and contains no phosphorus or nitrogen, making it a perfect eco-friendly choice. Oxygen bleach comes in both powder and liquid forms.
