Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of sodium percarbonate directly into the washing machine drum to naturally whiten whites and remove coloured stains. For best results, run the wash cycle at a minimum of 40°C - ideally at 60°C.
For stubborn stains, pre-soak garments in a basin of very hot water with 2 tablespoons of percarbonate before washing as usual.

Natural Whitening & Stain Removal for Laundry
Sodium percarbonate is a highly effective, eco-friendly ingredient that releases hydrogen peroxide and sodium carbonate when dissolved in water. The sodium carbonate helps soften the water and boost the cleaning power of your detergent, while hydrogen peroxide acts as a natural bleach to lift stains and restore whiteness.
For optimal results, use in water that’s at least 40°C - and ideally 60°C - to activate its full whitening potential.
Washing machine (4–5 kg load):
Whites: Add 1 to 2 tablespoons directly into the drum
Coloured stains: Add 2 tablespoons
Delicate colours (always test first): Add 1 tablespoon
Pre-soak method:
Dissolve 2 to 3 tablespoons of sodium percarbonate in 3 litres of very hot water. Soak garments for several hours before machine washing as usual. Safe for both white and colourfast fabrics.
Perfect for tackling tough stains like lipstick, sweat, perfume, ink, mud, grass, grease, urine, and pet-related accidents. Especially useful on:
- Cloth nappies
- Washable menstrual pads
- Bed linens
- White socks and towels
- Tea towels and kitchen cloths
- Soft furnishings (cushion covers, rugs, etc.)
Always spot-test delicate fibres such as wool, silk, or leather before use.
Deep Cleaning Tip: Tea Towels

- Mix 1 to 2 tablespoons of sodium percarbonate with 1 litre of hot water (min 40°C, ideally 60°C)
- Let the solution activate for a few minutes

- Rinse if needed, and allow the wood to dry fully before treating or oiling
Cleaning Outdoor Surfaces (Tiles, Patios, Stairs)
Sodium percarbonate is just as effective on outdoor stone and tile surfaces as it is indoors. Great for removing grease, dirt, and grime.

If stains are persistent, don’t give up. Simply reapply your hot solution - percarbonate works best when heat is maintained. For deep stains, repeat the process.
