Back in the day, less wasn’t more. More was more.

White clothes or linens turning yellow? Just add more blue dye to make them appear brighter and whiter. Or so the thinking went.

Optical brightening agents (OBAs)—chemical compounds that absorb ultraviolet (UV) light and re-emit it as visible blue light—aren’t designed to whiten your clothes. Instead, they trick your eye into seeing a whiter and brighter “effect.”

Truly Free Laundry Wash contains NO UV brighteners, blue dyes, or other sham cleaning agents. It’s safe and gentle on your skin, meaning you’ll never have to worry about a nasty film of harmful chemicals coating your clean clothes.

Today, you can boost your laundry’s whiteness and brightness easily and effectively with Truly Free OxyBoost, the most powerful yet family-safe bleach alternative available.

Truly Free OxyBoost is a color-safe, non-toxic oxygen bleach that uses sodium percarbonate to release oxygen to remove tough stains and leave your clothes and linens white and bright—naturally.

3 ways to use Truly Free OxyBoost to Get Brighter Whites and Colors

Boost your Truly Free Laundry Wash

Step 1: Measure

Add OxyBoost to your washing machine drum: 1 scoop for high-efficiency (HE) machines and 2 scoops for standard machines.

Step 2: Wash

Run your laundry cycle as usual—Truly Free OxyBoost works effectively in both hot and cold water.

Step 3: Enjoy

Revel in the white and bright clothes and linens, without any harmful chemicals.

Pretreat stains before washing a load

Step 1: Mix solution

Create a paste by mixing Truly Free OxyBoost with a small amount of water.

Step 2: Apply to stains

Gently rub the paste onto the stain using a cloth or soft brush. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes.

Step 3: Rinse and wash

Rinse the treated area and follow up with a regular wash to completely remove the stain.

Soak a heavily soiled item.

Step 1: Prep

Fill a basin or sink with warm to hot water.

Step 2: Add OxyBoost

Dissolve 2-3 scoops of OxyBoost in the water.

Step 3: Submerge garments

Place your clothes in the solution and let them soak for at least 1 hour. For heavily soiled items, let them soak overnight.

Step 4: Wash

After soaking, wash them as usual.

Tips for best results

Stains can be tricky. Remember to:

  • Treat stains as soon as you can—the less time they sit, the better. 
  • Spot test an inconspicuous area of the fabric before treating it just in case. 
  • Soak like colors together to avoid possible color bleeding or transfer.


You deserve the brightest whites and most vibrant colors without worrying about damage to fabrics or exposure to harmful chlorine bleach and other alternatives. Truly Free OxyBoost has your back!
