Has anyone added Oxyclean to their laundry recipe? |

I'm thinking about doing that the next time I wash. I find my light colored clothes are starting to get dinghy (sp?) looking.
Has anyone added anything else? I've also thought about adding clorox2. It wouldn't be expensive but may give it a little boost. |

It is my understanding that once added to water, oxyclean will only be active for 6 hours. I don't know if that is true or not, but if it is and you make the liquid detergent, you won't use it all within that time, so it'll be a waste of money. I just add some to my wash loads to get them white. Sometimes I stop the cycle and allow them to set in the water with the oxyclean for a while. If you make powdered detergent, it should work just fine. Feel free to add the clorox2, it may work well for you. So much depends on the type of water you have at home. I have city water, but lots of friends who have well water have so many problems.

Thanks. I make the liquid. I'll try the clorox 2. I have hard water.

I tried the Oxyclean once when I was unable to find the washing soda locally. It swelled when I add my water and I only ended up with about half of the batch that I usually make. After it cooled down that is.

why not put some extra in the wash when your doing the laundry, just like you would add some liquid bleach.
it's not that difficult to do. |
