Percarbonate is the active ingredient found in oxybleach and many stain-removal products. When mixed with warm or hot water, it releases oxygen that helps lift stains, brighten whites, freshen fabrics and tackle built-up grease.

You'll find it in many of my favourite DIY cleaning recipes because it works across the laundry, kitchen and bathroom. It's also a common ingredient in commercial cleaning products for the same reason - it cleans by helping lift and remove soils rather than masking them.

What can I use it for?

Practical uses

• Soak stained clothing before washing
• Brighten whites and help lift stubborn stains
• Add a cleaning boost to homemade laundry powder
• Freshen towels, sheets and reusable cleaning cloths
• Clean greasy pots, pans and baking trays
• Remove tea and coffee stains from cups, mugs and teapots
• Add to homemade dishwasher powder
• Brighten grout and tiles
• Clean showers, baths and sinks
• Help remove soap scum, mould staining and built-up residue

Tips for best results

• Works best when activated with warm or hot water
• Allow time for soaking when tackling stubborn stains
• Spot test delicate fabrics and surfaces before first use

Helpful information

Sodium percarbonate is activated by warm or hot water. Think about the surface you are cleaning and how much heat it can tolerate.. wam, hot or boiling? Some fabric may be best using warm water but a baking tray could handle boiling.

Storage

Available in home compostable Earth Bags or reusable Apothecary Jars.

• Like all cleaning products, not for cosumption. Do not ingest

Why buy it pure?

Buying the pure ingredient gives you complete control over what goes into your cleaning products and how much you use. There are no fillers, fragrances or unnecessary extras.

Instead of buying separate products for stain removal, laundry soaking, dishwasher powder, grout cleaning and degreasing, you can start with one ingredient and make what you need. That means less packaging, less waste and a simpler cleaning cupboard.

Why it's in my toolkit

Replacing bleach was one of the biggest challenges when I started making my own cleaning products. Bleach is incredibly effective, so finding an alternative that could handle the same jobs wasn't easy.

I actually discovered sodium percarbonate by accident while researching alternatives. The more I learned about it, the more impressed I became. But when I finally tried it, my mind was blown. Not only did it tackle many of the jobs I had always relied on bleach for, I quickly discovered it could do so much more.

It became the ingredient behind my laundry soaks, dishwasher powder, stain removers and many of the DIY recipes I still use today. I never looked back.

Years later, it's still one of the ingredients I reach for most and has earned a permanent place under my sink.
