Liquid Clorox 2® for Colors can be added to the wash cycle, used to pretreat stains directly on fabric and used as a presoak for larger stains.
It is not a full detergent formula; rather it adds ingredients like the oxygen bleach that the detergent does not contain. So I would recommend trying it as an additive with your regular detergent and see if you don't see better results.
Answer. Unfortunately, there are currently no products that disinfect all colored laundry. Clorox2® Stain Remover and Color Booster contains hydrogen peroxide as its active ingredient, which is a much weaker bleach than sodium hypochlorite, the active ingredient in Clorox® Regular Bleach2.
Clorox is a bleach product from a company by the same name having its headquarters in Oakland, California. Though the company makes several chemical products, it is its bleach that is most popular.
According to the Clorox website, the Environmental Protection Agency does not list Clorox 2 as a type of disinfectant to kill germs or bacteria. Clorox does suggest using the product to clean and disinfectant fabrics that can be used safely with sodium hypochlorite bleach.

If the mildew is very bad, consider doing a Clorox® Regular Bleach2 soak (1/4 cup liquid bleach per gallon of cool water; soak 5-10 minutes), then wash in hot water with detergent + ¾ cup Clorox® Regular Bleach2. If the mold/mildew is heavy, you may need to repeat treatment for complete stain removal.
According to the Clorox website, the company's regular bleach, absent the sudsing agent, has a sodium hypochlorite concentration between 5% and 6.5%.
Most household bleach contains 5%–9% sodium hypochlorite. Do not use a bleach product if the percentage is not in this range or is not specified. This includes some types of laundry bleach or splashless bleach, which are not appropriate for disinfection.
There are only two main types of bleach to choose from when you are deciding which bleach to use on your laundry: chlorine bleach and oxygen bleach. However, there are also natural items that have bleaching power and can act as bleaching agents.
For white loads, add ½ cup Clorox® Regular Bleach2 to the dispenser or fill dispenser to maximum capacity. For brighter colors, fill the cap of Clorox 2® Stain Remover and Color Booster product to line 1 and pour into the detergent dispenser.

The product was marketed for laundry and could not be labeled as disinfecting but since the outbreak, that's changed.
During this time, most household chlorine bleach was available at strengths of 5.25- 6.25%. The recommended concentration for disinfection has been 600-800 ppm of chlorine bleach and 50 to 200 parts per million (ppm) for sanitizing.
The key difference between bleach and disinfectant is that bleach can cause discolouration, whereas disinfectants may or may not cause discolouration. Moreover, bleach cleans and whitens surfaces while disinfectants clean and disinfect.
Bleach is a water-based solution commonly used as a disinfectant. It can be purchased with a concentration ranging from 5.25 to 8.25% of the active sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) ingredient.
Chlorine bleach is a solution of hypochlorite. The regular strength of common household laundry bleach is either 5.25 percent or 6 percent.
Household bleach is 5 - 6 % sodium hypochlorite; therefore a 1:10 (v/v) dilution of bleach to liquid biological waste is appropriate.
Clorox bleach kills mold on surfaces, but not airborne mold spores. The presence of black mold inside the home can damage the structure of the home and the health of those who live in it. Mold begins to grow quickly in damp, humid conditions, usually within 24 to 48 hours.
Hydrogen peroxide is an oxygen-based, non-chlorine bleach. Although not as powerful as chlorine bleach, it is safer for both humans and the environment because it breaks down into water and oxygen.
Chlorine bleach can help eliminate mold on hard non-porous surfaces like sinks, bathtubs, tiles, or glass. This is because the roots of the mold do not penetrate through this surface and so it is easily wiped off.
It's the ultimate color-safe laundry stain remover. Safe for all colors and fabrics, Clorox 2® for Colors eliminates stains while keeping colors vibrant over time.
