Percarbonate (Oxybleach)
Percarbonate (Oxybleach)
"Love this stuff for soaking materials. Will never buy Napisan again!"
Also known as 'the best stuff ever', this 1000-in-1 wonder is the secret sauce in my DIY dish powder, helping degrease everything from pots and pans to oven racks. It tackles laundry stains, whitens whites, brightens colours, and disinfects like a pro. Its the key ingredient in Napisan and other heavy duty cleaners - science backed amazingness.

Key Benefits

Science backed stain remover
It releases oxygen when it meets water, this breaks down the chemical bonds in stains, making it an effective stain remover for a wide range of materials.
Brightens whites
Its oxygen-releasing action helps to break down organic compounds that cause fabric discolouration, leading to whiter and brighter textiles.
Disinfects
As it releases washing soda and hydrogen peroxide it creates an environment hostile to harmful microorganisms. While it may not match the potency of harsh chemicals, it provides a natural way to sanitise surfaces without the residue and fumes.
It's versatile
From DIY laundry wash to dishwasher power, it's a star performer in a multitude of cleaning recipes.
Cost effective
It's a budget friendly alternative to commercial cleaning products as it can replace the need for multiple cleaners.
Empowering
Empowers you to take control of the ingredients you use in your home. You can craft personalised, effective, and safe cleaning solutions tailored to your needs.
Reduces chemical exposure
It allows you to minimise exposure to harsh chemicals commonly found in commercial cleaners. This is especially valuable if you prioritise a healthier living environment.
Sustainable
One of the standout features of sodium percarbonate is its eco-friendliness. When it breaks down, it decomposes into water, oxygen, and washing soda – leaving behind no harmful chemicals or residues.
