The warnings on the back of a traditional bleach bottle are pretty scary. There are lots of bold red symbols and statements imploring you to be careful… Store out of reach from children. Reclose the cap tightly after each use. Causes severe skin burns and eye damage. What’s more, bleach is a known trigger for asthma attacks.
And yet people still think chlorine bleach is a necessary evil for their laundry routine.
What else whitens whites, removes mildew, and banishes musty odors like a boss?
The answer is oxygen-based bleach—it brightens and lightens as well as traditional yet toxic bleach. (But without the risks to your family.)
Still not convinced? Let’s dive into the science behind this powerful bleach alternative.
Truly Free Home’s OxyBoost is a color-safe, bleach alternative for laundry that uses the power of two simple but mighty ingredients: Sodium Carbonate and Sodium Percarbonate.
Sodium Carbonate, also known as washing soda, softens water and breaks down grease and grime. Sodium Percarbonate is a compound of sodium carbonate and hydrogen peroxide that when dissolved in water, releases oxygen bubbles that penetrate deep into fabric fibers, lifting stains and brightening colors. Without bleach!
This oxygen-powered action is tough on odors and discoloration—yet gentle on your clothes, your skin, and the planet. Chances are your grandmother used washing soda. OxyBoost is the modern-day equivalent but with a boost of extra brightening power.
Add this color-safe laundry booster to each load without any worry of bleaching out your darks or breathing in toxic fumes.
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—OxyBoost works effectively in both hot and cold water.
Step 3: Enjoy Revel in the white and bright clothes and linens, without any worries about exposure to harmful chemicals.
Add some water to this powdered bleach alternative to make a powerful & safe stain-fighting solution.
Step 1: Mix Solution Create a paste by mixing 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.
For those stubborn stains, make a soaking solution that’s OK to use around your kids and pets.
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 or overnight. Then wash as usual.
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. OxyBoost has your back!
