Pure Percarbonate (Oxybleach)

Sodium percarbonate releases oxygen when mixed with warm to hot water. This oxygen action lifts stains, loosens built-up grime, and refreshes fabrics and surfaces - without harsh fumes or residues.

It’s a staple in DIY laundry powders, soaking solutions, and heavier cleaning jobs where you need extra support.

This ingredient is for you if you have:

• An overcrowded cupboard full of single-use cleaners
• Concerns about harsh chemicals, fumes, or residue
• The need for a heavy-duty cleaner that still fits a low-tox approach
  

What makes it useful

• Oxygen-based cleaning without chlorine
• Effective on tough stains, grease, and organic build-up
• Safe for whites and colours
• Septic-safe and biodegradable
• Breaks down naturally after use
• Replaces multiple specialised cleaners
• Concentrated and cost-effective
• Easy to measure, store, and reuse
  

Ways people use it

• Laundry soaks for stains, odours, and whitening
• DIY laundry powders and boosters

Eco-Friendly Earth Bags
Made from brown recycled paper and a 100% natural corn-based biofilm, are both renewable and compostable. For optimal disposal, we recommend commercial composting after removing any tin ties and labels. Under the right conditions, these bags can decompose in about six months. Due to their compostable nature, Earth Bags are best for short-term ingredient storage. For long-term storage, transfer your ingredients to an airtight container.
