What's the difference between oxygen bleach and regular chlorine bleach?
Oxygen bleach is a great alternative to chlorine bleach as it is safer for humans and the environment.
Chlorine bleach is caustic (corrosive) and can causes skin irritation, respiratory issues, and damage to fabrics if not used properly. Chlorine bleach is highly reactive and when mixed with other substances such as acids or ammonia, can release toxic fumes.
Chlorine bleach is very toxic to waterways and the environment, unlike oxygen bleach which is non-toxic, biodegradable and when used properly, safe for waterways.
How does Oxygen Bleach work?
When dissolved in water, oxygen bleach releases oxygen ions, which act as a powerful stain remover and disinfectant. These oxygen ions break down stains and organic matter, leaving behind cleaner and brighter surfaces.
Is Oxygen Bleach safe for the environment?
Yes, oxygen bleach is safe for the environment. It breaks down into oxygen, water, and soda ash, making it non-toxic and environmentally friendly. It does not produce harmful residues or toxic byproducts.
Is Oxygen Bleach safe for coloured fabrics?
Yes, oxygen bleach is safe for coloured fabrics. Unlike chlorine bleach, which can cause fading or damage to coloured garments, oxygen bleach is gentle and will not bleach or discolour fabrics if used correctly.
Can Oxygen Bleach be used on delicate fabrics?
Yes, oxygen bleach can be used on delicate fabrics. It is gentle and non-abrasive, making it suitable for use on delicate materials such as wool, silk, and synthetic blends.
However, it is always recommended to spot test in an inconspicuous area before using on delicate fabrics.
