Pure sodium percarbonate: whiten and remove stains with active oxygen.
Frequently Asked Questions
Questions? We have the answers!
Sodium percarbonate is an inorganic compound formed from sodium carbonate (common "washing soda") and hydrogen peroxide, stabilized together in a granular solid form. Upon contact with water, it dissolves, releasing: Active oxygen (from the hydrogen peroxide): the bleaching and sanitizing agent. Sodium carbonate: an alkalizing agent that helps dissolve dirt and enhances cleaning action. Once its action is complete, it breaks down into water, oxygen, and soda, which are substances already present in nature.
Traditional bleach is based on sodium hypochlorite (active chlorine). It is effective but has several drawbacks: It can damage colored fabrics and delicate fibers over time. It releases organochlorine compounds into wastewater (environmental impact). If combined with other products (acid, ammonia), it can release toxic fumes. It has a strong and persistent odor. Percarbonate, on the other hand: Acts with oxygen, not chlorine. Is safe even on colors (in the correct dosages and at moderate temperatures). Turns into water, oxygen, and soda without leaving persistent residues. Is odorless. Is a gentler choice for fabrics.
Sodium percarbonate acts from 40°C upwards. The reaction that releases active oxygen is thermally activated: the higher the temperature, the greater the effectiveness.
Yes, to avoid damaging fabrics or materials: Do not use on wool, silk, cashmere, angora, and other protein fibers — the alkaline environment degrades them. Do not use on leather, suede, or skins — it damages them irreversibly. Do not use on untreated wood — it can alter its color. Do not use on untreated aluminum or oxidizable metals — it causes corrosion. Never mix with bleach, vinegar, citric acid, or other acids — undesirable chemical reactions. Do not use in cold water — its action is very limited below 30°C. Do not store in airtight containers in hot environments.
Yes. On whites: percarbonate is ideal. It revives the natural whiteness of fibers, removes yellowing, eliminates stains, and sanitizes. You can use it with peace of mind according to the doses indicated on the packaging. On colors: percarbonate is generally safe on colored garments if used according to the instructions, because it removes stains without attacking the fabric pigments as chlorine bleach would. Prefer intermediate temperatures around 40°C and never above 60°C, as some dyes may fade over time. Avoid dark-dyed cotton garments (black, midnight blue, burgundy); repeated long-term washing may reduce color brightness.
The packaging is made of C/PAP 81 paper, Aticelca C certified; it can be disposed of in the paper recycling bin.
