OxiClean™ Versatile Stain Remover works in any temperature water, but best in warm to hot water.
Oxy-Boost is a versatile, highly concentrated oxygen-based cleaning powder that can whiten, brighten and deodorize everything from clothes to kitchen appliances and grout. In order for Oxy-Boost to activate, it must be combined with hot or cold water.
Our powerful Oxi Action formula provides amazing stain removal, even in a cold wash (25°C).
Always test OxiClean™ Versatile Stain Remover on an inconspicuous area first. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the item for water temperature and for cleaning. Do not use on wool, wool blends, silk, silk blends, leather, or any fabrics labeled dry clean only.
Oxygen bleach can be used in any water temperature. However, some powders may not dissolve easily during a cold water wash load. If using very cold water, mix with warm water first. Add the powder or dissolved solution to the empty washer tub first.
You will have best results when used with warm/hot water or when you pre-dissolve in hot water to use with cold water. Clumping is a sign that moisture has made its way into your container. To ensure maximum effectiveness, make sure to keep package closed between uses in a clean, dry place.
The colder water is, the more oxygen it can hold. As the water becomes warmer, less oxygen can be dissolved in the water. Salinity is also an important factor in determining the amount of oxygen a body of water can hold; fresh water can absorb more oxygen than salt water.
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 also more gentle. If you use bleach too often, or add too much, your clothes will begin to degrade and get holes. Also, bleach can turn white clothes a little yellow if you use it too often. Oxiclean whitens whites, but also brightens colors.
If you leave clothes in Oxiclean for too long, it can leave a coating on the fabric too. This can make the fabric feel stiff or chalky when you touch it.
When using in cold water, first dissolve OxiClean™ White Revive™ Laundry Stain Remover Paks in hot water, and then add the warm solution to the drum or in a cooler soaking solution. Consumers who use very cold water and HE machine may find that the product doesn't dissolve well.
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).
Cold water helps reduce the risk of shrinking clothes. Fabric fibers shrink as a result of being exposed to heat, either in the washer or the dryer. Use cold water temperatures in your washing machine and don't use high heat drying cycles if you're trying to reduce shrinkage.
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).
Sodium Percarbonate is normally added to the start of the hot wash cycle predissolved in cold water at a rate of 300g per 100kg of dry work. The wash temperature must be above 60C for good results. Once Sodium Percarbonate is in the form of a stock solution it deteriorates rapidly.

They vary with water temperature and altitude. Cold water holds more oxygen than warm water (Table 5.3) and water holds less oxygen at higher altitudes. Thermal discharges, such as water used to cool machinery in a manufacturing plant or a power plant, raise the temperature of water and lower its oxygen content.
Cold exposure can reduce maximal oxygen uptake, but may not always do so (Young, 1990). Exposure conditions must be severe enough to reduce core or muscle temperature markedly (> 0.5°C [> 0.9°F]) before Vo2max is reduced (Bergh and Ekblom, 1979; Fortney and Senay, 1979; Horvath, 1981; McArdle et al., 1976).
According to Le Chatelier's Principle, the system adjusts to this increase in the heat by promoting the dissolution reaction to absorb the added heat energy. Increasing the temperature, therefore, increases the solubility of the solute.
