Dear Home Ec 101:
Where can I get sodium percarbonate?
Thanks,
Short and Sweet
Heather says:
Sodium percarbonate is the generic name for the active ingredient oxygen bleach poducts like Oxyboost, Oxiclean, or Clorox Oxygen Action. When dissolved in water it creates hydrogen peroxide and soda ash. The bleaching action is accomplished by the hydrogen peroxide; soda ash is an environmentally safe byproduct.
You can find products such as Oxiclean on the laundry aisle at most large discount stores. To get the most bang for your buck check the ingredient list and avoid those loaded with fillers such as sodium chloride (table salt). Oxyboost has a list of their distributors on their website and the products are available online.
Sodium percarbonate is replacing sodium perborate in many laundry products due to its more environmentally friendly characteristics.
Good luck and happy cleaning.
