VAXEN Sodium Percarbonate Powder is a multi-purpose oxygen bleach — widely known as green bleach — formulated for home and professional cleaning. Sodium percarbonate (also known as percarbonate of soda) breaks down in water into oxygen, water and soda ash, releasing active oxygen that lifts stains, brightens whites and cleans surfaces without any chlorine residue. Searching for sodium percarbonate uk green bleach?

This is it. The coated formula sets VAXEN apart. Each granule carries a protective coating that locks out moisture, prevents clumping and delivers a consistent, controlled oxygen release throughout the life of the bag — not just from a freshly opened pack. Uncoated percarbonate degrades faster in storage and can deliver uneven performance. The coating solves both problems.

Use it across the home: as a laundry booster for whites and colour-fast fabrics, as a dishwasher cleaner, as a carpet stain remover, for bathroom grout and kitchen surface cleaning, and as a pre-soak for stubborn stains. It is also effective for cleaning mould-stained hard surfaces — dissolve in warm water and apply to the affected area. For laundry, add to your regular detergent.

For surface cleaning, dissolve in warm water and apply. For a pre-soak, mix with warm water and leave for 30–60 minutes before washing. The released oxygen also helps lift trapped odours from fabrics during the wash cycle — useful for gym kit, towels and pet textiles where odours are embedded in fibres rather than sitting on the surface. Chlorine-free and gentler than conventional bleach on most fabrics and surfaces.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Do not mix with acidic cleaners. Not suitable for wool, silk, aluminium or leather. Harmful if swallowed. Keep out of reach of children.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is sodium percarbonate?

Sodium percarbonate, also known as percarbonate of soda or oxygen bleach, is a powder that breaks down in water into oxygen, water and soda ash. The released active oxygen breaks down stains and brightens whites without chlorine, which is why it is often called green bleach. VAXEN supplies it as a coated powder in 1500g and 3000g resealable bags.

How do you use sodium percarbonate in laundry?

Add 1 to 2 tablespoons to the drum alongside your regular detergent. For tough stains, make a paste with warm water and apply before washing, or pre-soak: mix with warm water and leave the item for 30 to 60 minutes before a normal wash. Always test on an inconspicuous area first, and follow the garment care label.

What temperature does oxygen bleach work at?

Sodium percarbonate releases active oxygen once dissolved, and temperature drives the speed of that release. Below about 40°C the release is slow, so for laundry it performs best at 40°C and above, with 50 to 60°C ideal for whites and heavily soiled loads. Cooler water still works, just more slowly: allow longer soak times, and pre-dissolve the powder in warm water first.

Is oxygen bleach safe for coloured clothes?

VAXEN Sodium Percarbonate is gentler than chlorine bleach on fabrics and is safe for most whites and colour-fast items. It is not suitable for wool, silk, aluminium or leather. Always test on an inconspicuous area before full use, and check the garment care label.

What is the difference between sodium percarbonate and bicarbonate of soda?

They work differently. Bicarbonate of soda is a mild alkali used for gentle cleaning and odour absorption. Sodium percarbonate releases active oxygen when it meets water, which actively breaks down stains and brightens whites. For stain removal and whitening, percarbonate does the heavy lifting; bicarbonate is the milder general-purpose powder.

Why is sodium percarbonate called green bleach?

Because it whitens and lifts stains using active oxygen instead of chlorine, and it breaks down in water into oxygen, water and soda ash. There is no chlorine residue left behind. In the UK the names green bleach, oxygen bleach and percarbonate of soda all refer to the same active ingredient: sodium percarbonate.
