What else can I use Sodium Percarbonate for besides cleaning wood?

[Christopher 102]

I have a lot of the sodium percarbonate sitting there and it is just taking up space and I would like to use it for cleaning something.

I don't do a lot of wood restoration but there should be other uses for Sodium Percarbonate besides wood cleaning.

What else can you use it for?

Thanks.

Pretty sure that stuff has a shelf life too.....

About 6 hrs. if mixed with water. Otherwise, the powder will keep a long time if kept free of humidity.

Sodium percarbonate is the active ingredient in "OxiClean". From clothes washing to cat cleaning, there must be hundreds of viable uses.

LOL - there is no such place that is "free of humidity" in North Carolina, hence, short shelf life! :D

you can wash homes and roofs with the stuff - but you'll need to apply it straight from a pump

Celeste,

Sodium percarbonate, at least in wood cleaner formula, will last years in powder form. NC has nothing on NJ when it comes to summer humidity, especially this year. A simple air tight container, filled to the brim, is all that is needed for storage.

Since I have Red Oak floors in the house and only some area rugs, carpet cleaning is not an issue.

I have the containers sealed tight, I am on the Gulf coast, right at the water and we have high humidity all year long but when you seal the containers good the powders do last a while so I am trying to find something to clean with this stuff, don't want to throw it away.

I wonder if it would brighten concrete like acids do?

I wonder if it will remove tannin stains like from leaves on concrete like bleach does?

Just trying to find some practical uses for the stuff.

Bung it on your lawns & garden beds. It does wonders as it puts oxygen back into the soil.

You can soak your clothes it in, add it to your washer machine, use it for carpet cleaning, add it to your dish washer. Add it to your steam cleaner water. Add it to your mop water.

I use Vinegar, baking soda in my daily house hold cleanings, and lemons, all have natural cleaning powers that rival manufactured cleaning solutions. They are safe to use & less expensive than other products.
