Golden Week, which has more time than usual, is a great opportunity to clean up the accumulated dirt at once. Therefore, I tried using the detergent "OxiClean" that is often seen on SNS and stores recently.

OxiClean is a so-called oxygen bleach whose main component is sodium percarbonate. The American version and the Japanese original version are sold by the same brand, but this is the Japanese version (500 g, price is 548 yen excluding tax). It seems that the cleaning effect is the same, but the surfactant and fragrance are removed.

As a basic usage, if you put it in the laundry every day, the odor will be removed and the finish will be refreshing. Since it is not chlorine-based, it can also be used for colored patterns.

However, the purpose of this time is a concentrated attack on dirt that was usually overlooked! "Oxy-pickling" is performed to improve the dirt removal effect by soaking in hot water.

All you have to do is dissolve an appropriate amount of OxiClean in a basin or wash basin with hot water of about 40 to 60 degrees Celsius and leave it for 10 to 30 minutes. Below, I'll immerse you more and more.

Yellow collar of the shirt

The most effective thing this time was the yellowing stains on the shirt. When I washed it as usual after soaking it, it fell off cleanly and returned to a new state. It's easy because you don't have to rub it with soap.

Cloth sneakers, shoelaces, slippers

Dobon as it is with canvas sneakers and slippers. Depending on the degree of dirt, it may be necessary to take measures such as increasing the detergent and soaking time, or rubbing with a brush. Please note that it cannot be used for leather.

Tea astringency of tableware and water bottle

Oxy-pickling is effective for removing the tea astringency accumulated in the cup, the stainless steel bottle that is difficult to wash, and the dirt on the parts of the water bottle. Rinse thoroughly with water after soaking.



It should be noted that previous to also introduce it was, this method is the best especially since it is better not to use a chlorine-based bleaching agent in stainless steel bottle.

I just forget it! In the washing tub

If you have more time, you can also clean the mold that has accumulated in the washing tub. Pour water or lukewarm water at about 40 degrees to a high water level and add 8 to 20 glasses of OxiClean. After driving for a few minutes, leave it for 2 to 6 hours. In addition, we will do the laundry on the standard course.


After that, rinse it several times until it is clean and you're done. It seems that it is good to do it regularly once every one to two months, but you forget about it. But if you skip too much, a horrifying sight awaits you ...

The overall effect is the same as that of other companies' oxygen bleach, but I personally like the design, which is easy to hold and can be easily weighed with a cap. Oxygen-based cleaning, which shows the effect clearly, is addictive once you do it, so please try it!
