Use for:
Unlike chlorine bleach, which can discolour grout and corrode the surface over time, oxygen bleach is a safer, non-toxic alternative that lifts stains without destroying the material.
Delicate Fabrics:
While Oxygen Bleach is safe on most fabrics, it should never be used on silk, wool, or any garment that has leather trim or wooden buttons.
Wood Surfaces:
Due to its non-corrosive nature, Oxygene Bleach is a versatile cleaning agent suitable for most indoor and outdoor surfaces, excluding both finished and unfinished wood surfaces like hardwood floors.
Oxygen Bleach activates when it comes into contact with water and releases oxygen. Therefore, proper dry storage is essential. Store Oxygen Bleach in a labelled airtight container in a cool and dry place, out of reach of kids and pets. Get a container with a tight seal, such as our glass jars to maximize its shelf life, but also to make it easier to scoop out when needed for cleaning.Â
If you prepared a paste or a spray, never store it in a sealed container. The solution or paste continues to release oxygen and might lead to dangerous pressure buildup.Â
Oxygen Bleach is generally a safe product to use, however, there are some safety considerations to make when cleaning with it.
Wear gloves when cleaning with Oxygen Bleach, prolonged contact with the skin can also cause irritation. If breathed in, Oxygen Bleach can upset your respiratory tract, always use it in a well-ventilated room. Be sure to store it out of reach of children and pets, and avoid touching your eyes before washing your hands, as it can also cause eye irritation.
Test it out in an inconspicuous area before committing with a full clean.
Once the Oxygen Bleach has been mixed with hot water, do not leave it in a completely sealed container. If you are using it in a spray bottle, use the chemical immediately and dispose of any solution that remains once you are done. The reaction between the water and Oxygen Bleach continues and could build up a dangerous amount of pressure.
