Does oxyclean actually work?*Poll added*.

I know that it works good on taking out Fruit Punch gatoraide from a light grey carpet, and helps to get rid of kitty puke stains on the carpet (this is a must have if your kitties have sensitive stomachs).

Yup. My mother-in-law swore by it. My wife tried it. It works! It's actually no joke. it works as advertised!

Not sure, but I think it may be a form of hydrogen Peroxide. Basically it's something that releases oxygen I believe which is very chemically reactive. Similar to bleach, but bleaches work is due to chlorine.

Wal-Mart B&M sells a generic version: 1/4 the price and works as well! :thumbsup:

Works really well on rug stains. I have a cat and every so often I find a puke surprise. Cleans the stain right up.

Never heard of this thing; it must be an American product

Yup, it's basically hydrogen peroxide. However, the oxyclean stuff is a higher concentration than the stuff you buy at the drugstore, and it's much easier to use.

Hydrogen peroxide is like 99cents at the store, if you want to try it. But a lot of times they put stabilizers and stuff in it and it doesn't work as well for cleaning.

(I used to use the stuff to bleach my hair, back in the 60's)

close MSDS says its 10 to 30% potassism hydoxide

so its a bucket of hydrogen peroxide and bananas
