if you use oxiclean in your laundry

NDwife07 · February 2011

Is it just regular oxiclean or is there a particular variety? The kind below (Versatile Stain Removing Powder) is on sale at my meijer this week and I want to try it. We have the dingy whites problem that Brenda talked about.

There is an OxiClean Free that we normally buy, but I wouldn't hestiate to buy the regular if I couldn't find the Free kind.

We've used the Free kind and an Oxiclean Baby. I'd bet the regular stuff works well too.

We bought the Free because it was the same price (at Meijer a couple weeks ago).

I tried a whitening technique that I read online and it worked great!

Boil a huge pot of water, transfer the water to a sink, throw in a scoop or two of Oxiclean, mix it around, put your dingy whites in the sink, stir around for a little while with a spoon, and let sit for an hour. Rinse, then wash. We washed them using the Oxiclean as well.

I could not believe the difference it made.

Plus, my sink (they're white porcelain over iron) was seriously the cleanest it's EVER been. Literally, like, WHITE. Now I need to do the other side of the sink because it looks awful next to the bright white side.

I may start washing all of our whites in Oxiclean.

I've used both - just get whichever is on sale. I keep a bucket on our laundry machine (it was actually a large bucket from Target's $1 spot that I had on hand). I normally have that already prepared with water and oxi and the then I will toss in clothes as needed - like right now I think I have 2 of B's shirts soaking - when I do his laundry I will just grab them from there.

Good to know - I'll have to try this!

I buy it everytime Costco has it in their coupon book, which is every 4 months or so. It comes in a box, but I put in a bucket just like that. I actually do the same as Brenda, but just soak in the washing machine with warm/hot water.

I use it in all of our whites. I actually also just bought a detergent with Oxi in it. I can't remember the name, but its' a yellow bottle, I got it at Costco too. I like that I feel like can use it for all colors now.
