8 Ways to Use Oxiclean

2020-12-14

Finding new ways to uses your cleaning products can lead to you saving extra money and time. Check out our article on 8 ways to use Oxiclean.

You have to clean your house at some point. Eventually, it will gather enough dirt, or scrapes, or discoloration that will force you to spend time cleaning. There are many products available to you for each kind of cleaning you want to do. Some products are meant to be used for particular kinds of cleaning, and they can’t be used for anything else unless you want to have new problems arise. Some products are more malleable than others. They tend to be useful in many facets of your cleaning regimen. One product that is available in many stores and has many uses outside of cleaning clothes is Oxiclean. The powder can be used in different areas of your home and on different clothing types. You can safely use it to get all manner of things clean, and in this article, we will look at 8 ways you can use it.

1

Cleaning Your Laundry and Washing Machine

The first thing you can use it for is cleaning your dirty clothes. This is obvious since the product is marketed as clothes detergent, but it has another job to do regarding your washing machine. Your machine will become dirty over time, and it can be a large problem when your clothes come out of the washer smelling bad and have a few new stains on them. You can clean your washer with a cup of Oxiclean and some hot water. It is a great way to ensure your clothes get clean and that your machine will last as long as possible. Please read our article that goes into greater detail on cleaning your washing machine with Oxyclean properly.

2

Kitchen Usage

Your kitchen will be the main point of germs and other unfriendly microbes. It will easily become dirty through preparing meals that contain meat and other liquids that will become dangerous when left alone too long. The grout in between your kitchen tiles will continue to accrue more dirt, grit, and germs until they are black caked lines in the wall or on the floor.

Oxiclean will take care of those stubborn stains and build-ups when used properly. You need to turn it into a paste and use a small brush or an old toothbrush to apply it. You let it sit for about ten minutes and then remove it with water. It will quickly clean your grout and make your kitchen look new.

3

Carpet and Upholstery

This can be a tricky one to do, but it can lead to an almost perfectly clean. You will need to check what kind of material your carpet is made of before using an Oxiclean solution on it. Once you have determined what, you can do some simple prep cleaning by blotting the stain a little before using the new solution. Mix a tablespoon of Oxiclean in one cup of water and then spray and blot the stain until you are satisfied. This is an easy way to keep the common areas of your home looking clean and new.

4

Trash Bins

You trash bins will understandably become dirty over time. Your liquid trash will become very smelly over time, and it has a high possibility to leak to the bottom of the bin. You will need to make a mixture of one cup of Oxiclean and water per gallon. Once you have made the mixture, you will need to use a cloth or a brush to apply it to your trash bin. Another option is to pour the entire amount into your trash bin and scrub it until you have cleaned it to your satisfaction. Dump the mixture out and dry with a cloth or let it dry on its own. You can now use your bins without worrying about the smell of old garbage.

5

Deck and Patio

Your outside areas can quickly become dirty, and it can be a pain to have to clean them. You can try to use a pressure washer, but they can be inconvenient and loud. An easy solution is to create a mixture of water and Oxiclean in a spray bottle. Spray the patio areas that are the most affected and let it sit for about half an hour, and make sure to spray areas that start to dry too soon. After it has set, you can use a brush to get rid of the mold or discoloration. Wash off the area with water to get the remaining dirt and grime off of the patio.

6

Shoes

Your shoes become dirty through basic walking around the city and general outdoors. The lighter colored shoes will show obvious discoloration. The best way to get rid of it is to make a mixture of water and Oxiclean and lightly spray your shoes with it. Use a brush or cloth to wipe away the stains and dirt. It works well on white shoes and can make them look like new.

Remove Jar Labels

Jar labels can be annoying to remove, and it becomes a larger hassle when you have to do it every time you want to put your glass out for pick-up. A good way to easily remove the labels is to fill your sink with hot or warm water and add some Oxiclean to it. Put the jars in that you wish to remove the labels from, and over time you will see the labels float to the top of the water on their own. It is one of the best and easiest ways to get rid of jar labels.

8

Deodorize Sports Clothes and Equipment

Your sports clothing and equipment will eventually become smelly from constant use. You can fill a bucket, or your sink, with cold water and add half a cup of Oxiclean. Wait until it dissolves and then begin to clean your clothes. This works well on caps and shoes. Once you scrub them, let them dry, and you can enjoy a clean non-smelling cap.

These were only a few ways to use Oxyclean to tackle other household cleaning problems. You can save time, money, and room in your home by using it for multiple purposes.
