Love Oxiclean for whites. "Fabric softener - vinegar is great" -- But just in case there may be a few out there who do not know this already, don't add bleach if you added vinegar as fabric softener.

[@traceyv9961]

Do you think this would work on stains that have gone through the laundry several times? I have some items that have coffee stains and I can't seem to get them out. I will certainly try...but curious if you have tried. Thanks!

[@AndreaJean]

Yes!! I have done it a million times lol 👍

[@carronalee]

Good tips there. BTW…I noticed visible mould inside your wash powder/conditioner dispenser. That means there will be a whole lot more inside and above that drawer. 😳

[@AndreaJean]

I saved that for a different video 👍

A,ways!

How do you ring water out, so you can put in washer and not make a mess??????

[@marybethjohnson3305]

that's why I do things in the washing machine but I have considered getting one of the old fashioned ringers.

In my laundry room sink and some gloves 👍

what is Javex? is it a French product?

[@marybethjohnson3305]

aha! Javex is bleach! but we have a septic system so no bleach use here.

[@sydneydrake2789]

I keep a large unbreakable glass at the laundry sink to mix a half scoop of oxy into hot water. I swirl it until dissolved and add to the wash. At first I just put dry oxy into my wash and was unimpressed. Once I took a moment to liquify it I got great results.

[@calamarimatahari1008]

I’m gonna try this. Thnx!

[@theweatherisaokay4964]

Yeah and adding Clorox in the normal cleaning is not going to hurt the fabric. Before I used to soak my towels with Clorox for up to 8 hours and my towel become more easily torn.

[@maryaldaco7228]

Can I use my Pre Soak with OxiClean or Pre Wash?

[@brucecoleman7412]

As someone who has repaired many washing machines, let me say that I am not a fan of the HEI machines at all. Give me the old school washer with an agitator! Much cheaper to repair and they are much more reliable. I avoid anything with electronic controls and stick to the ones with mechanical timers. Next, I NEVER use the automatic bleach and fabric softener dispensers ever! The bleach is so corrosive that it eats up any metal parts it comes in contact with. Fabric softener leaves a gummy residue in its dispenser. I set my water level to the lowest setting and add my detergent, Oxy, and bleach to the water then let it agitate for several seconds until everything is dissolved. Then I add my clothes and increase my water level if necessary. I’ve seen bleach dispensers ruin machines.

[@judithreyes4664]

Great tip Thank you! I will try it. I wasn’t impressed with the product either but with give it another try because of your suggestion.

[@pqsk]

You can use coke to get rust/blood/oil/battery acid out. Works like a charm and then bleach your whites. This works for non-white too (minus the bleach of course 😆)

[@AnitasLoveify]

Well, tell us how you do that, please! I have an off-white slip cover that turned yellow-ish because of rusty water! Super frustrated!! How do you use coke for the rust spray o come out??

[@pqsk]

@@AnitasLoveify you can just use a can of coke or a cup of coke (if you have the big bottle) and just pour it on the area that has the rust and then put soap on it and then wash it with hot water. If the rust is real bad and has been there for a while it may benefit to let it soak for some time. I've never done that, but that's worth a try if it's that bad.

[@joshualavertu6279]

wait. coke or cocaine ? lol

[@pqsk]

@@joshualavertu6279 😹😹😹to be clear, coke is cocaine and coca cola. I've never tried cocaine with this trick, but it will fail. It is strong for other reasons 😆 the reason coke works is the acid. You could technically use anything with acid. OJ may work, but I do know coke has the right amount of acid so using OJ may need a tweak in how much is used.

[@faezahjulie]

Once battery acid fall on ur clothes it makes holes in the fabric.happened to me

Thanks for sharing.

[@ltkell2028]

With light colors like pinks, teals & yellows I do the same (use oxiclean whitening) but I also add a bit of bleach & water in with the bleach to dilute it so fabrics don't bleed or get bleach marks. I don't do this to brand new clothes, only after they've been washed a couple times. They are bright & look new! I wash all reds together (NOTHING ELSE) & add a bit of diluted bleach (3 tlbs bleach & 1 1/2 cup water) keeps them bright as well. I've never had any problems. With troubled stains I wet & scrub stain with a bar of lye soap (from cracker barrel) works amazing! My youngest son got into a mustard fight outside at Church in his brand new white shorts, came home 4 hrs later. That lye soap took every bit out, everyone said I should just throw them away but I'm not going to throw away $50 without trying something, I was amazed & have been using ever since!! Hope this helps

[@AndreaJean]

Love it!

[@debrawright9195]

I used to use the vanish oxi action to get grass stains out of cricket whites..I found they worked great in the washing machine. Sometimes I rubbed a little onto the stains first but was straight away.

[@pamackenzie]

I use 99% pure sodium carbonate which is the active ingredient in OxiClean. You have to dissolve it in hot water first and then I use it the same way you do. I also use it to clean my coffee maker. If I have a really dirty pan with baked-on crud, I boil water in the pan, put a teaspoon or two in (depending on size), and let it sit overnight. The crud basically wipes out with no scrubbing. I wouldn't use it on cast iron though. If you make a paste of it and put it on shower scum and let it sit overnight, the scum just wipes away with no scrubbing. This stuff doesn't work fast, but it works oh so good. I have also used it on my great-grandmother's handmade lace placemats. It's that gentle. It's basically dry hydrogen peroxide so it won't hurt fabrics the way bleach can.

[@christinebeames712]

Thank you got the sodium carbonate tip I just ordered some

My friend has a side biz of linen rentals and when I helped her out for a few years we would soak linens in Oxy overnight for removal of stains. It was the ONLY thing that removed stains, incl wine.

[@skyhawaii5446]

I have a request. I wear white every day as a professional painter/business owner. I have tried every trick in the book to make and keep my whites white. The scope of my work requires me to be rugged, get dirty while working on the floor, roof tops, ladders etc.. My clothes used to be whiter when using an old school washing machine. The only way to keep them white now is to buy new ones. Can you go around the neighborhood and find a professional painter and ask him/her to wash a load of their whites? Please post a before and after video. We must be clean and look clean when we paint houses. I am not expecting the paint to come off. I want to see if the the dirt stains come out using your method. Thanks in advance. I notice more and more trades are using darker colored uniforms. This dirt is still there regardless of the color in my opinion. White is so much cooler in the sun. Many thanks for this video. I will follow your instructions to see if I get better results.

Laundry detergent used to contain TSP. TSP is known to cause overgrowth of weeds in lakes creeks ponds swamplands so they took it out of laundry detergent but it’s still in fertilizers but you can buy TSP and add it to your white laundry which I do makes a difference oh and you probably know the TSP is great for washing walls no rinsing needed on the walls

[@samjohnson4846]

@@AndreaJean When you mix OxiClean and bleach, the hydrogen peroxide that is released by sodium percarbonate in OxiClean reacts instantaneously with sodium hypochlorite in bleach, creating a highly hazardous chemical gas, or what is also referred to as chlorine gas.

[@neurodivergejyn4140]

This is great for urban homes I’m sure- but for the farm, not so much. I have 5 boys and 4 girls and we have really orangey mud- lots of iron in it! Oxyclean doesn’t break down mud. I use something that lathers really well, like dawn or Zote soap, and use a wide scrub brush to get the dirt out. Believe me it won’t even come out of your skin! I also buy large gallon size bottles of 32% (or 28%) peroxide from the pool supply. I use it to sanitize a ton of things and it’s cheaper than oxyclean alone! That oxyclean has brighteners added, but you can buy optical brighteners from art supply stores as well as other products commercial outfits use to get out yellows and iron. OUT has these chemicals in them to help get out iron and yellowing but you can really make your own for cheaper!

I don’t like the new washer/dryer’s. At my office where I work we have a stackable washer/dryer and u can’t leave the lid open on the washer and soak anything. And the dryer has a automatic dry sensor that when it “THINKS” the items are dry it turns off automatically. Well what if u want to turn it back on to get wrinkles out ??? U can’t if their dry. It won’t stay on and unless they are really wet it won’t stay on very long so it doesn’t help us with refreshing and getting wrinkles out . Only works if it’s wet !!!! I hate that .

I might get to your drum (eventually), it depends on the quality of your "stainless steel" drum (not all steel is created equal). The disadvantage is that you have to put the wet laundry into the machine, and if it is a frontloader it is a bit of work. (not much).

Hand modeling is kind of annoying. Chemicals, chemicals, more chemicals. I’m surprised you didn’t add in denture cleansing tablets. Your whites are white. 🙌🏻👐🏻🤘🏻👌🏻🤌🏻🤏🏻🫳🏻👆🏻👉🏻🫴🏻✋🏻🤚🏻🖐🏻🖖🏻🫱🏻🫲🏻👍🏻

When I lived in the city I had the whtest whites. Since we moved we have well water that turns all whites dingy white it's embarrassing. Would this work with hard water?

[@AndreaJean]

Yes 👍

Wow, I gotta get some oxy clean/ revive! Thank you ❤

It's so good!

Andrea, I have an off-white chenille slipcover for one of the pillows for my couch, that got accidentally washed & dried, with rusty water & it turned the cover a yellowish color! Do you know if I could try this particular OXY on cream (or ivory, or off-white) colors??? Or, would it make it “white” color instead of the original off-white (cream) color that it’s suppose to be??? Thank you for your opinion!!

[@Janelegant]

Try regular Oxyclean...I bet it would work.

[@AnitasLoveify]

@@Janelegant Try soaking it with the regular oxy powder? If so, for how long would you suggest? Since that rust color got on my cover, I’ve used a couple oxy pods in the wash cycle since then, but that’s done nothing. Thnx!

[@Janelegant]

@@AnitasLoveify I say try to soak it over night and then wash it and also add Oxyclean. I hope it works for you. You could also try leaving out in the sun to dry.

[@melissajarvis4829]

You could try the oxy clean soak. If that doesn't work, there are rust removal products. But, be warned they are harsh. Maybe try lemon juice and rinse thoroughly? I'd research it first, though... I wouldn't recommend mixing the chlorine bleach with oxyclean, but do recommend googling if it is safe to do. (It isn't.)

[@rebellajm]

The Oxi Revive states safe on colors. Soak a hidden area first for a test

Was expecting some sort of game changing household hack, but will try your method anyway. Thx

Unfortunately, I don't have a soaking sink in my laundry area and my kitchen sink is too small for a load of that size BUT I suppose I COULD use the bathtub. How will the rest of you handle the hours long soaking?

[@billstiem6035]

I soak the whites in our washing machine. I put enough water in the washer to cover all of the whites. I let the whites agitate briefly to mix the clothes with the Oxi Clean and then pause the washing cycle and let the Oxi Clean do its special work. Leaving them soak overnight really gets the soil out.

[@paulhat3310]

Get a rubbermaid storage container. Done.

[@valfletcher9285]

a bucket, a wash tub, an ice chest you are not using, or a lavatory not in use. Just be careful if toddlers are around if you place any tubs or pails of water on the ground.

[@angieryan2544]

Just get yourself a cheap bowl or bucket 🪣 honey as that’s what I use! It’s perfect 👍🏻

[@rebellajm]

You can soak right in washing machine. Just turn off after few minutes at start of wash cycle.Let soak overnight is best

[@bluemoon431]

Hello I live by myself and I have a Qestion. Can you put baking soda in the washer for anything ???? I know soda des clean other things,that's why I am asking. Y'all have a great day. Please no wierd answers !!

[@karenmahan6979]

Hi Phil! Yes, you can. It really is a wonder product, useful for so many things beyond baking. My mom swore by this use doing her laundry. For soaking stains: Depending on the size of the load, use approximately one half cup of baking soda (Hint: even if the expiration date is passed, that just affects its baking properties; you can still use it for cleaning and other applications) and a gallon of water. Mix well and soak the stained clothing for about 15-30 minutes. (Make sure to check beforehand for color fastness. There should not be an issue in most cases but better to be safe.) After the time has passed, wring out as much water as possible and just throw the clothing in with the regular laundry detergent (you can also add another 1/4 cup of Baking Soda directly into the tub.) Baking Soda acts to soften your clothes too so it makes a great softener without adding any fragrance which is helpful for those with skin or scent sensitivities. If you use Baking Soda, don't add any additional softener to your laundry or dryer. I know some people do like a lovely scent on their cothing; you might be able to add the scent beads to accomplish that however, I don't know if there would be any issues with mixing the beads and Baking Soda, so youre on your own there. Hope this helps! Good luck!

@@karenmahan6979 Thank You !! Very kind of you to respond ! Have Great Evening God Bless + + +

[@Mandy_39]

Yep, you sure can! I do it all the time! Throw in some vinegar as well if it's really bad. Much cheaper alternative cuz Oxi clean is pricey imo.

[@melissajarvis4829]

@@Mandy_39 Don't mix vinegar and baking soda together in the main load, though. You'll just create carbon dioxide gas and not help the laundry. (Think kids' science project volcano/fire extinguisher) However, I have hard water and add baking soda to the wash nearly every load and like to put vinegar in the final rinse for softening.
