OxiClean is a versatile cleaning product made from sodium percarbonate. When mixed with water, the solution forms oxygen bubbles that penetrate into stains and dissolve them without harsh fumes. OxiClean brightens surfaces and whitens fabrics without the need for excessive scrubbing. OxiClean is ideal for use on most hard surfaces and floor types including tile and grout. Mix a fresh batch of OxiClean for each use since the active ingredient breaks down after six hours.
