Always add OxiClean powder directly into the washing machine drum before adding your clothes. Never put the powder in the detergent or bleach dispenser drawers, as it can cause gummy clogs.
Using OxiClean incorrectly can lead to faded fabrics, damaged materials, and accidental chemical reactions. The most common mistakes include skipping the fabric test, mixing it with unsafe chemicals, and soaking items for too long.
You do not need to use OxiClean in every load. It is best used as a targeted laundry booster for heavily soiled items, dingy whites, or foul-smelling loads. Using it unnecessarily can accelerate the fading of dark colors, degrade elastic, and leave a powdery residue.
Avoid using OxiClean on delicate materials like wool, silk, and leather, as well as on dry-clean only fabrics, as the oxygen-based formula can break down these protein-based fibers. Additionally, avoid using it on wood, brass, or unsealed surfaces to prevent permanent discoloration and damage.
