Question
Hello Henry! Could you, would you inform me of the chemical make-up of the product "Oxyclean?" We have all seen it on the infomercials.THe sellers states that you can use it on counter tops to laundry. What chemicals composition is in it? Can it be used as a sanitizer for glass bottles?
Thanks a bunch!

sodium percarbonate/sodium carbonate mix which is a stabilized mix of sodium carbonate and hydrogen peroxide with extra sodium carbonate thrown in. Hydrogen peroxide is released when you add it to water. Sanitize? For food, I doubt it has been approved and may not be strong enough. For general cleaning, it really would not work on many things. It is better for spots not crud removal. Doesn't work at all on oil/grease. If you search www.google.com for sodium percarbonate you will find info from various suppliers.
