OxiClean: Where to Buy
OxiClean is an oxygen-based stain remover powder that lifts tough spots from clothing, upholstery, and hard surfaces without chlorine bleach. Billy Mays pitched it in one of the most recognized As Seen on TV campaigns ever aired, and it earned a permanent spot in laundry rooms nationwide. One tub does the work of several specialty cleaners.
How the Stain Remover Powder Works
The active ingredient is sodium percarbonate, a compound that breaks down into hydrogen peroxide and washing soda the moment it hits water. That reaction pulls dye, food, oil, and odor out of fabric fibers. Regular detergent cleans the surface; this powder booster reaches the deep-set grime a normal wash cycle leaves behind.
You can use it two ways. Add a scoop to the washing machine drum before you load clothes, or dissolve it in warm water and soak a stained garment for one to six hours. Both methods work in standard and high-efficiency machines.
What Can You Clean With It?
This is not only a laundry booster. The same scoop handles carpet spots, tile grout, faded outdoor furniture, and plastic containers stained orange by tomato sauce. That range is why a single tub replaces three or four bottles under the sink.
- Laundry pre-soak for whites and color-safe loads
- Carpet and upholstery spot treatment
- Kitchen and bathroom surface scrubbing
- Deck, patio, and outdoor furniture cleanup
Its versatile reputation puts it alongside other As Seen on TV staples like Flex Shot rubber sealant and the Shark Matrix Plus 2-in-1 robot vacuum. Curious whether these pitches hold up? Our look at whether As Seen on TV products actually work covers the pattern.
Where to Buy OxiClean
OxiClean versatile stain remover is available at Walmart, Target, Amazon, and most grocery chains. A 3-pound tub usually runs $8 to $12, and a 5-pound tub costs around $14. Amazon and Walmart delivery lands within about two days for Prime and Walmart Plus members. Check the current price on Amazon before you buy, since pack sizes and sales shift often.
In our testing, the soak method beat the in-wash scoop on set-in coffee and grass stains. One thing most reviews skip: on old oil stains, a single wash rarely finishes the job, so plan on a second soak. The everyday value is what keeps OxiClean in the cart.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is OxiClean just bleach?
No. It relies on oxygen-based power from sodium percarbonate, which breaks down into hydrogen peroxide and soda ash. That formula stays color-safe on most fabrics, while chlorine bleach can strip dye and weaken fibers.
What stains does it remove?
It removes grass, wine, blood, coffee, grease, and food stains from most washable fabrics. Oil-based marks need a longer soak, but the powder handles them with enough contact time in warm water.
What should you not use it on?
Skip wool, silk, leather, and anything labeled dry-clean only. It can also discolor certain dyed materials, so test a hidden spot first when you are unsure.
What is the key ingredient?
Sodium percarbonate. In water it splits into hydrogen peroxide, the active stain-lifter, and washing soda, which softens water and boosts cleaning. There is no chlorine in the standard formula.
