Oxy -Boost - Oxygen Stain Remover Powder - Bleach Alternative for Laundry - Chlorine-Free Multi-Purpose Cleaner and Deodorizer (5 lb)

I love this product and cannot recommend it enough. It uses the same chemical that is in the OxyClean you find in the grocery store, but it is much more concentrated. I use it to wash my white linen napkins that I use for Christmas and Easter dinners--they come out clean and white, white, white. I recently used it to clean an antique lace wedding veil that was completely brown. It is now snow white. The method that I have found that works best is to boil a large stock pot of water on the stove. After the water has come to a boil, I put the pot in the sink, add the items that I want to wash, then add some regular detergent and a scoop of the OxyBoost. I learned the hard way not to do this on the stove because the hot water causes the Oxyboost to create a large amount of suds that will overflow the pot. However, after the sudsy water flowed out all over my stove and onto the floor, I discovered that OxyBoost is a great cleaner for the grout on my kitchen tile floor which after 13 years had become black with dirt (regular floor cleaning solutions did nothing). I let the items soak in the pot for several hours or overnight and then put them into the washing machine to rinse out the soap (except for delicate items like the veil.) My husband had several white dress shirts that had yellowed with age, but were otherwise fine. After soaking them in OxyBoost they are white again.

I use it for white laundry. It works very well though I have not used it for cleaning the carpet, etc. I like it b/c it is a non toxic product.6/19/16: I used Oxyboost to clean the carpet of dog urine. Over 2 yrs & 3 mths dog urine was not well cleaned w/ distilled white vinegar. I used it 4xs: applied diluted solution to the carpet, waited 20 minutes then soaked up the solution w/ a big old towel. I did it again w/ fresh Oxyboost & 3 more big old towels. Huge difference! Carpet has no more urine stain even my mother is happy. Odor improved 70%. No more Oxyboost. I will buy 10 lbs directly from Ecogeeks.

I have used Oxy-Boost for a couple of years and am reordering again. It is safe and very effective. I read up on which was the best, purest product and this is the one I chose. I use it for whites mostly, and I have always had excellent results. I am very particular about my laundry, but I want effective products that are as safe for the environment as possible. I believe this product qualifies.

This is not the same item as years ago. It now has a fragrance to it that it never had before and I had used this for many years with no problem. I ordered this time and it smelled so bad I had to throw it out. You cannot return this for a refund, so I wasted all that time and money. If you are sensitive to smells then you know how devastating it is when you find a good product and then they change it. It is so hard to find products you can use as it is.

Cabt tell if this works but I noticed after buying that the box says chlorine bleach. When you look at the images of the listing it says chlorine bleach on the first images but all the other images don't mention chlorine or specially say chlorine free so I'm not sure what I actually recieved and now scared to use it.

The front label says "Chlorine Oxygen Bleach". But the back label says "Ingredients: Sodium Percarbonate and Sodium Carbonate", in very small print. Which is it really? Is this a new formulation with chlorine in it? Or is it the same non-chlorine formulation it always was? The shipping label says "Chlorine-Free Multi-Purpose Cleaner", so maybe it is OK.It also came in a non-resealable plastic bag with no label at all on the bag, unlike my previous order which was in a zip-lock bag with the product information printed on it. I put it into my own container, managed to tear the label off the box to use on my container, and will give it a try based on my assumption that the formulation hasn't changed.I have been using Oxy-Boost for years, with good results, for all my laundry including colored items. This product looks and smells the same as my last purchase despite change of package and the scary label. I will give it a try, but am giving only 2 stars because of the misleading label, and because I must re-package it in order to use it.

Okay, so, my only fear with this product is my nagging doubt its actually safe but...I have no validation of this, I just figure since it's so effective there must be something wrong with it. BUT, besides this disclaimer....I LOVE IT! Omg I love it. I soaked my baby's cloth diapers in it overnight and was SHOCKED that the poopy stains that had been there forever with the 7th Generation (which I thought was the peak of compromise as it worked so terribly, I assumed it was perfectly wonderfully natural as how could something be so ineffective AND toxic - well!) anyway - THEY CAME OUT. WAS SO HAPPY. I looked at the cloth diaper inside and I was like...WOW, is this really happening. I remain in this state of disbelief.I once - maybe a decade a go - used OxiClean and my Mom freaked out because she said it was super toxic but - she didn't have to freak out because I broke in hives ALL. OVER. MY. BODY. Was HORRIFIC. I guess it was like adult shingles or similar but I was red all over and it was so terrible I was like WOW, never using anything like that to clean clothes again. So I was a little worried with the similarity in name but, no horrible reaction and now I wash all my clothes in it!I also use soap nuts and Arm & Hammer super washing soda (but the poopy stains came out in the overnight soak).SO HAPPY! Hope this product works for you!
