What is sodium percarbonate?

Sodium percarbonate is a great environmentally friendly alternative to bleach or borax, because it is non-toxic and biodegradable.

Sodium percarbonate is sometimes called “solid hydrogen peroxide” because in contact with water it releases hydrogen peroxide. Traditional laundry bleaching and stain removing agent. Used for each machine, it naturally preserves the whiteness of fabrics because it avoids dullness caused by limestone.  This powder is also effective for textiles that have already yellowed over time or for sweat rings and yellowed shirt collars. It is also an excellent stain remover (organic stains such as tea, coffee, red wine, carrot, tomato sauce, greasy stains, lipstick, blood, etc.) thanks to the oxygen released by the powder during the wash cycle. It does not contain chlorine or optical brightener, the raw materials that compose it are practically inexhaustible and non-toxic.

Properties + How to use it?

• All types of textiles, except wool, silk and leather.

• Effective on white and colorfast colours.

• Perfect for soaking of difficult pieces.

• Ideal between 40ºC and 60ºC.

Good to know:

Once dissolved in water, Sodium Percarbonate gradually loses its activity, so long-term storage of solutions is unnecessary.

The solutions are therefore prepared rather at the time of need.

It is also possible to prepare powdery mixtures based on sodium percarbonate, which will only be dissolved at the time of use (washing powder, scouring powder, etc.).
