Here at Fillarup, we're all about empowering you to make smart, sustainable choices for your home. We've talked about the magic of Bicarbonate of Soda and today, it's time to shine a spotlight on another incredible member of our RAW cleaning collection: Oxygen Bleach!
Now, before you picture harsh fumes and faded colours, let's clear the air. Oxygen bleach is not your grandmother's chlorine bleach. It's a gentler, more eco-friendly powerhouse that relies on oxygen to clean, brighten and remove stains, without the nasty chemicals.
So, What Exactly IS Oxygen Bleach?
Essentially, oxygen bleach is typically made from sodium percarbonate, which breaks down into sodium carbonate (soda ash, a natural mineral) and hydrogen peroxide when dissolved in water. It's the release of oxygen from the hydrogen peroxide that does the magic – it lifts dirt and stains, neutralises odours and brightens fabrics.
Why Should Oxygen Bleach Be Your New Cleaning Best Friend?
- Eco-Friendly & Non-Toxic: Unlike chlorine bleach, oxygen bleach breaks down into harmless substances (oxygen, water, and soda ash) in your drain and the environment. It's safe for septic systems and a much better choice for homes with children and pets.
- Colour-Safe Brightening: This is a huge win! Oxygen bleach is generally safe for coloured fabrics (always test a small, inconspicuous area first!), making your whites brighter and your colours more vibrant without risk of bleaching.
- Powerful Stain Remover: It's incredibly effective at breaking down tough organic stains like coffee, tea, wine, grass, blood and food spills.
- Odour Neutraliser: Not just a cover-up, it actively eliminates odours, leaving things truly fresh.
- Versatile All-Rounder: From laundry to kitchen surfaces, it's a multi-talented cleaner.
