Just go on eBay or check other online sources
Such as the chemistry store; you can buy all the bulk sodium percarbonate your heart desires. Buy five or ten pounds, break it down into one pound tightly sealed bags or jars and there you are....
This or look in health food/organic stores for pure sodium percarbonate oxygen bleach. Ecover used to sell small boxes of the stuff, but IIRC they may have changed the formula recently. Can also check local chemical/laundry supply houses. Though they may only sell in 25lb or 50lb bag or some other equally large bulk size. Even then some may not sell directly to retail, only to trade/professionals/institutions. Ask among your friends/family if anyone is in the carpet, deck, roof, or whatever business as sodium percarbonate is used for that purpose. They may be able to direct you and or offer to purchase on your behalf. Truth to tell large numbers of persons selling powdered pure oxygen bleaches online merely purchase the stuff in large 50lb (or greater) bags as bulk. Then break things down for resale into smaller containers, mark it up, and sell it on. This post was last edited 06/01/2019 at 20:23 | ||

I get the color safe bleach from the dollar store....ingredients the same as Clorox2...works very well....
I tend to stay away from the Liquid versions, as the ingredient is mainly peroxide....granted very effective at removing something like blood, but the brown bottle in the first aid section is mega cheap.... | ||

If one put one's mind to the task
Finding uses for oxygen bleach (sodium percarbonate) outside of laundry isn't very difficult.
Cleaning coffee pots, automatic coffee makers. Scrubbing bathroom surfaces/tiles and grout Cleaning backyard decks Cleaning and deodorizing washing machines and dishwashers These uses and more are listed out there on internet, in books, etc.... | ||

Pure Sodium Percarbonate I buy it on Amazon. It is pure and works great. I add 1 teaspoon to the dishwasher and generally 1T to a few wash loads. It is cheaper than buying a small tub of OxiClean mixed with all the extra BS. | ||

"Sodium Percarbonate, Sodium Carbonate, Sodium Metasilicate."
Oxygen bleaches are accelerated/more powerful at higher pH levels. This is the reason why dry cleaners or professional laundry persons add a bit of ammonia when spot treating stains with hydrogen peroxide. Beauticians know this because permanent hair coloring works on same principles; the developer contains ammonia (or another alkaline substance) which is added to the peroxide. Ditto for hair bleaching where a powdered alkaline substance is activated by peroxide. In the old days powdered detergents contained enough base substances such as washing soda, sodium metasilicate, etc... that you could just add sodium percarbonate or perborate straight and get good results. Indeed sodium percarbonate being made from washing soda usually brings enough of it's own alkalinity to the party. To save a few pennies commercial and some domestic oxygen bleaches will add washing soda and other base substances. This in of itself isn't bad, but you have some products that are only around 50% oxygen bleach. The rest is washing soda and whatever else. Sodium metasilicate is a stronger base than washing soda. This high alkalinity comes in very handy for doing laundry with soaps. Laundries in GB did hospital wash full of blood stained items using nothing more than soaps with oxygen bleach such as Persil and sodium metasilicate. Everything came out clean and white, more so because they also used high wash temps as well (boil wash). | ||

We've been happy with this one as well. For anyone who is interested in the specifics, Charlie's posts the Safety Data Sheets for their products, which includes details on the ingredients. www.charliesoap.com/wp-co... For their Oxygen Bleach, the breakdown is as follows: Sodium percarbonate >=85% Sodium carbonate 2-12% Disodium Metasilicate <2.5% | ||
