After spraying OxiClean spray on my white pants, right in front of my eyes it ate a 1/4 hole - couldn't figure out why some of my whites had little holes, thought they were just wearing out - never again will I use this product, it's scary!

I bought oxyclean years ago, hoping that it would get the mud stains out of my barn clothes.
I used it for a while then noticed a strange thing. Every shirt I had in the laundry with oxyclean hand bleach-like stains in the arm pits. Yes, I sweat alot, but it shouldn't do that. It even did that to some of my mothers clothes.
Now it sits on the shelf getting lonely as all the other products I use come and go as they are emptied.
I only use it on junk towels that I don't care if they look bad.
I wouldn't recommend this product.

I have used Oxi Clean Laundry and Stain Remover on a white blouse that had stains, yes it removed the stains and left me holes, used it on a Bedspread the same thing and then cleaned the side of my pool liner and I now have a leaky pool liner. Didn't realize this was what was happening until I used it on the blouse and immediately after washing saw the damage.
This product should be removed from the consumers.

I've used Oxyclean on colored clothes before and had some luck getting blood and ink out, but when I went to use it on my daughter's new white pants, it stained them yellow. They actually look worse now than they did with the original stain!
I'll never, ever use this product again.

I use oxi-clean to pretreat my daughter's brand new white skirt after she dropped some tomato sauce on it. after an hour we rinsed it out and it left a huge yellow stain. we tried everything to attempt to get it out,but nothing has worked. a $25. 00 skirt ruined. The same thing happened to her jacket, it just left a large yellow spot and cannot remove it. I don't really like the product

I really like Oxy-Clean for my work uniforms, however I can't say I noticed any real difference in my regular clothes. I work as a waitress in a steak restaurant, we have to buy our shirts from the company at $20 each, not a whole lot considering how much I wear them but would rather spend that money somewhere else. After working there for a year my 3 shirts were looking pretty bad; stained, grease spots, really dirty in the cuff area and just generally grungy. I had tried a bunch of other additives and other "home remedies".
Nothing had worked, didn't really think the oxyclean would work but figured what the heck if it does not work I'm out $7 but if it did work I would be saving alot, plus other than the stains the shirts were structurally in good shape. I put the shirts in a bucket to soak, followed the directions on the back of the tub, I did have to stick something heavy in there to weigh the shirts down, they kept filling with air and floating over the water line. I was truly amazed at the results. They were NOT like new but they were So much better. Most of the stains came out, grease spots were all gone and they were generally brighter, the cuffs were the only part that did not clean up well. After that first initial soak I have continued to put it in the the work clothes. My only complaint is it slowly turned the buttons on my blue shirts a purpleish blue color, the buttons on the red and green shirts were fine.
I did not however notice any markable difference using it my regular laundry. I don't bother putting it in with my everyday clothes as it is a waste of money.

I have read all of the complaints and I have to wonder if have have the same product. Is this the white stuff in a small tub that you can buy at the local "Buy everything here" shop? We have used Oxiclean for years and it's always worked well.

I tried OxyClean to get juice stains off the fabric of my computer chair. Good thing I don't have to wear the chair in public! It just spread the stain out a bit. Now its stuck for all time. I tried the stuff on other less serious stains, and to my complete and utter non-amazement, nothing happened! It couldn't even clean the kitchen counter-top as well as plain old tap water does. The obnoxious mental dwarf that hawks this crap on tv should be forced to drink it in his next commercial.

After being thoroughly annoyed by the high voiced pitchman/inventer/owner on the TV commercials which last far too long (thank you FCC) I bought the stuff. It did nothing. Absolutely nothing! It did not improve laundry and did not remove stains from the carpet. Most stain removers advertised on infomercials, as I learned with that stuff in a tube years ago, will only remove the substances demonstrated on TV. Quite often those stains are deliberately made lighter to make sure they 'vanish.' I bought another product from this same fellow from a website and discovered a $38.00 shipping and handling charge. Will not buy any product from this guy again.

I tried this product many years ago to get small orangy spots out of light carpet. It didn't remove the spots, but did leave big dark ring around the area. I had to steam clean the area several times to remove the rings. Used the rest of the product in my white laundry loads. My whites never looked so dingy. Went back to adding bleach. Worthless product!

Oxi clean does not work as advertised. Maybe if you really believe your clothes will be made cleaner by this stuff, you'll perceive them to be cleaner. Otherwise, save your money.

I bought some Oxyclean about a month ago. I had a red wine stain on a cream colored shirt. It got the wine stain out, but bleached the rest of the shirt. This stuff ruined my favorite shirt. It sucks!

I have been using OxyClean for about 2 years now. I won't do a load of laundry without it anymore, it has even gotten out an old red wine stain on a pink blouse (talk about a miracle). I have also used it as a spot cleaner and works well on carpet. However, do not touch this product (in a concentrated liquid state) without gloves on I did and was in the dr's office within the hour!

As a laundry additive, Oxy-Clean is horrible. I bought some because of their claim that it would make clothes "cleaner." Well, my experience was that clothes feel strange and make me itch after adding this stuff.

It stinks as a laundry additive---but it's an AWESOME jewelry cleaner--just stick it in a bowl with some hot water and your gold jewelry--especially diamonds--in a minute or 2,like new & they are sooo sparkly, you won't believe the "gunk" in the water that comes off, you may have to do it twice to really clean it right--so, it's a scam for what they claim it's so good for, but for me, my container has last a good long time! Thought others might want to benefit from my "discovery" so their purchase isn't a total loss!

I've tried using Oxyclean in my laundry as a substitute for detergent, and got no surprising results. The clothes didn't even smell clean. However...I was able to use it to get an ink stain out of a pair of khaki pants, and when the same ink pain that made the stain exploded in the drier, it stained the entire drum blue. I wet the towel with an Oxyclean solution and put it in the drier on air fluff cycle. It actually cleaned the ink off the drum. Other than that, I've not been impressed with this product and it's gathering dust in a cabinet.

I got some Oxiclean to try it!!! I read the directions and it DID NOT WORK!!! False advertising. Took zero stains out of my laundry. A total waste of money.

I like Oxiclean. It doesn't help whiten clothes in the regular wash, but it did save my clothes. One of our kids had a "prize" in his pocket that he won at school. It was a little stamper and ink pad set. I found it in the dryer after drying the load. It ruined a large load of my husband's uniform shirts and kids uniforms for school. It had to be the most expensive load of laundry I could have come up with and IT WAS ALL TEAL BLUE! I took the Oxiclean and used about 4x the strength in hot water and soaked them for about 4 hours. Every single dried ink stain came out and nothing faded. I also have removed black mystery stains on our carpets. Amazing.

buyer beware!!! my wife ordered this product when it first appeared for sale several years ago & after trying it out several times (used the entire container), this stuff does not work as advertised. i did notice any difference from using regular washing detergents, using bleach alternatives are better than oxi-clean !

Unlike others here, I have actually had good experiences with Oxyclean. I had an indoor cat that I had declawed. Well his paws got infected and he got little blood spots on my beige carpet. The Oxyclean got every bit of blood up. One thing to be aware of though, if using it to get spots out of clothing make sure that you rinse it THOROUGHLY because it will leave a light spot if you don't. I've never added it in the washing machine so I can't comment on that, but I use it for spot cleaning a lot. We keep a tub at our house at all times.
