15 AMAZING Uses for OxiClean 🤓 Sodium Percarbonate | Cleaning Tips & DIY Recipes | Shocking Results

[@Patti-1962]

I have severe autoimmune issues. Because of a life threatening disease, I must take steroids daily. This medication suppresses my immune system, so I used to constantly get sick in the Fall. My husband is a teacher, so he brings home viruses, even though he is not sick because his system fights them off. I have seen a huge difference since I started using Oxiclean. I also do a lot of cleaning with baking soda and hydrogen peroxide, so I am in shock that they are basically the same thing. I am ordering this product today! It is much cheaper, and since we make most of our own cleaning products, this will not be a problem to add to our cleaning regimen. YOU should have a million subs and your own TV show! Thank you so much for your videos!! PS I have also been taking some incredible supplements that have boosted my immune system as well. Feeling so much better these days! Although I must avoid crowds during Flu season.

[@TheFrugalMinimalist]

Patti, I'm so happy you've been able to find so much to boost your health and improve the quality of your life!! As I understand, the SPC is often used as a shelf stable form of the hydrogen peroxide! It's nice to be able to mix up a "fresh batch" when you need it. I really hope this helps you, Patti! I wish you and yours good health, happiness and all things awesome. Blessings! 💕💪

[@jacalli]

Have you tried food grade diatomateous earth? I've been on it over a yr and it's really reduced the times I've gotten sick.

[@Patti-1962]

@Scorched Earth I'm so sorry to hear that. I have Addison's disease, plus a "laundry list" of other autoimmune diseases. Do you have to take steroids daily? Have you heard ot the website/blog called butyoudontlooksick.com and the "spoon theory?" The author also has Lupus.

[@khadizahswan9864]

Lo

[@goodintentions1302]

If I were you, I would add drinking & spraying homemade colloidal silver & eating the food grade diatomaceous earth. I have autoimmune issues & I already do that. You can start by making colloidal silver with three 9 volt batteries & the silver rods which are not expensive to buy. Then buy a good Brewer to make collateral silver once you recognize its worth.

[@sjulliette]

Great video! I've used sodium percarbonate/ Oxiclean for years, but still managed to pick up new tips from your video. My local beer brewing store in Northern California sells percarbonate for 5 lbs for $14. I used to buy Oxiclean brand from Costco when it went on sale for under $20 for 11.6 lbs. Unfortunately, Oxiclean also contains alcohol ethoxylates, which are effective cleaning agents, but can be contaminated with carcinogens. (Examples of ethoxylated products include alcohol ethoxylates, PPG, PEG, polysorbate and ingredients that end in -eth such as laureth, steareth, ceteareth, most famously sodium laureth sulfate.) Because of skin irritation I've switch to using straight hydrogen peroxide 3% in the laundry instead of percarbonate, and save the percarbonate for serious stains.

[@AliciaLynnYT]

I didn't know what all sodium percarbonate could do, I'm amazed! I want to get some of this and clean all kinds of things! I'm most excited to try it on my retainers!! Thanks for the link on Amazon! Great video as always, Wendy!! And I liked your twin!😉😊

[@TheFrugalMinimalist]

It's very useful and I like that it doesn't take up much space. There are lots of uses for this stuff! I hope you get to try it! I know they sell it in smaller quantities and Whole Foods of all places I hear has a good pricing on it as well. Thank you for watching Alicia! I hope you're having a great weekend :)

[@patwagner9308]

Wow, now I know a bunch more ways to use sodium percarbonate ! I have been a huge fan of Oxiclean for years....but I recently found out about sodium percarbonate so I ordered some. It's impressive what it can do ! You've definitely given me some ideas for more ways to use it.

[@littlesongbird1]

Wow. I used to use oxi clean when I worked as a photo lab tech at a pharmacy because it was the only laundry booster that could get the stains out of my lab coats (and I was expected to have pristine lab coats to make a good impression on the customers). Just a scoop of that and it even removed old stains. I really need to buy some again and start using it around the house. Thanks for this great video.

what about stain removal and laundry? how much do i use for laundry? do i pre soak? if so how long and in what volune of water?

[@HeronCoyote1234]

For at least a year now I’ve been using one part OxiClean to one part washing soda (not baking soda) to wash my clothes. I make up a batch in a large plastic container and add a measuring teaspoon to the container. I add 1 tsp of this mix to my washing machine, like any other powder detergent. Hint: to crush lumps in the mix when making this, I use my metal potato masher.

[@Grandbeven]

Thank you for the extremely through explanation and I love how your twin helped too.

[@Aliceszanto]

Question: which is more cost effective? Sodium Percarbonate or Oxi Clean? I will definitely try this. When we had carpet, I used to use washing soda in place of carpet cleaner. It had less suds and a pleasant smell. I never knew anyone else that tried this. Happy cleaning! Oh, and cooking! I’m going to try your pasta soak today.

[@TheFrugalMinimalist]

Great question! For laundry actually I think the OxiClean is more cost effective, but just by a small amount. The sodium percarbonate has the added benefit of being safe around foods, so it's worth it for us! 😂 I thought it was only me who thought it has a smell! Haha I hope the pasta turned out well for you. We just used it for dinner tonight 😅

[@Aliceszanto]

The Frugal Minimalist the pasta turned out great! Thank you. We like linguini so I broke it in half and soaked it 1 hour. Magic!

Excellent video. Enjoyed the dual Frugal Minimalists. Is using SPC to clean retainers better than using a dissolved denture cleaning tablet?

[@TheFrugalMinimalist]

🤗 Thank you! Compared to the tablet, I'd say it works about the same. I'm picky for my son so I avoid the tablet because of persulfates. Most of the denture cleaning tables are based on sodium Bicarbonate (baking soda) so we just use water and baking soda daily. The SPC soak is just to refresh it and kill bacteria. I hope this helps!!

I have not tried it in the oven actually! If I do, I'll come back and let you know. This has no fragrance! It's marked as 99% pure sodium percarbonate. I'm not sure exactly what the rest of the 1% is, but I think it's the coating to keep the product from clumping. I hope this helps!

Wendy wonderful tips ... thank you so much! Do you have a way to get hidden gunk out of a washing machine? I have heard that it builds up and we can't see it. I've seen l a awesome oxyclean at dollar tree ... is that the same? Or is it better to buy spc from Amazon?

[@TheFrugalMinimalist]

Hi Cathy! For cleaning a washing machine, I'd really use the DT stuff. I've heard of some using oxyclean to clean a washing machine. They fill with hot water and just let it soak for hours, then run the water through. It only works on top loaders as I understand. SPC I like more for food stuffs because it's pure. DT has the sodium percarbonate and others ingredients/fillters, while the one I listed on Amazon is food grade. I hope this helps!

[@rebeccalankford8573]

Most dish soaps contain ammonia. Oxiclean is a dry form of peroxide. Its never a good idea to mix chemicals do to gasses they omit. Some can be deadly or combust. Do your due diligence in researching before mixing any chemical together. Contact your county extention office. As a science teacher or professor. Safety first.
