Will OxiClean™ Versatile Stain Remover fade my colored clothing? OxiClean™ Versatile Stain Remover is color safe.
Yes, Oxiclean has dark protect and is safe for black clothes.
Woolite Darks: Designed for dark colors, it helps prevent fading and maintains the richness of colors. Persil ProClean Color: Known for its stain-fighting power, it also protects against color fading. Seventh Generation Free & Clear: A plant-based option that is gentle on colors and free from dyes and fragrances.
It's safe on most fabrics except for wool, silk, and leather. There are multiple versions. I like them regular Oxiclean best. The white revive should be used for whites only since it has optical brighteners that will dull colors more quickly.
OxiClean™ products are chlorine bleach-free, so they can be used on canvas and mesh sneakers of all colors to remove stains and renew the brightness in your fabric shoes.
OxiClean cannot be used on wool, silk, leather or anything else that cannot be washed with water. It also is not recommended on rust and other metallic stains because of the oxidation process. I had persistent carpet stains on my staircase.
OxiClean™ Versatile Stain Remover is color safe. However, not all clothing is colorfast. Always remember to test for colorfastness in an inconspicuous area before using the product.
OxiClean contains several ingredients, but the important one for boosting and brightening laundry is sodium percarbonate — basically, dry hydrogen peroxide plus washing soda (also called sodium carbonate, which is very similar to but not exactly baking soda).
Oxi must be dissolved completely or it can leave little bleached spots on your dark clothes. If I'm washing in cold I dissolve some oxi first in hot water and add it to the washer. As long as you don't let the oxi dry on the garments you can have all of the stain fighting benefits and no harm to darks.
To preserve the original colors of your dark clothes, wash darks inside out on the shortest cycle using cold water (60 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit). Select the appropriate setting depending on how soiled the clothes are and what fabric they're made of.
A: Our Tide PODS™ Ultra OXI do contain a color protector, and it may be helpful to know that all of our laundry detergents are suitable for colored fabrics.
To help keep your black clothes and black jeans dark, wash your garments inside out in cold water on a delicate cycle. Be sure to use a low heat setting in the dryer or air dry to help prevent fading. Remember to always check the care tag on your clothing for proper washing and care instructions.
You may be wondering, “What about colored fabrics?” Well, hydrogen peroxide is safe for most fabrics. It is also color-safe for most clothes, but I always recommend testing a small, hidden area first, just to be sure. There's plenty left to explore about using hydrogen peroxide in the laundry.
Borax is often confused with other cleaning agents, but it stands out due to its ability to soften water, neutralize odors, and enhance the cleaning power of regular laundry detergents. The combination of these properties makes borax a go-to solution for many households looking to elevate their laundry game.

What is an Alternative to Chlorine Bleach When Cleaning White Clothes? OxiClean™ White Revive™ Laundry Whitener & Stain Remover is a non-chlorine bleach alternative. It has oxygen bleach and is color safe, so you can use it on white items that might have stripes, logos or other forms of coloration!
For dark items that people don't necessarily want to be “brighter” you can also use Clorox 2® for Colors Stain Remover and Laundry Additive since the low level of oxygen bleach in the formula is safe for most washable fabrics.
Don't use OxiClean on wool, silk, or other off-limits fabrics. OxiClean's manufacturer suggests that it should not be used on the following fabrics: wool, wool blends, silk, silk blends, leather, or on fabrics labeled dry-clean only.
Oxiclean is a mix od sodium carbonate, bicarbonate and hydrogen peroxide. Adding acid (like vinegar) just decomposes this mixture into carbon dioxide and oxygen (along with sodium acetate and water).
OxiClean™ is free of chlorine and preservatives, so it's safe on colors and gentle on your clothing – without sacrificing performance or leaving chemical residues. Many detergents break down the fibers and dyes in laundry as they clean, causing severe fading overtime.
It is always best to thoroughly rinse areas with clean water where OxiClean™ Versatile Stain Remover came in contact with plants, to wash away any residual product.
