Oxi Clean Big Box contains:

8.5 lbs. Oxi Clean
32 oz. Oxi Soft Fabric Softener
20 oz. Oxiclean Spot & Stain Pre Treater (spray bottle)
3 Synthetic Chamois
2 Oxi Clean Squirt Bottles

This is $24.99 at Bed Bath & Beyond. Use either the $5.00 off coupon or the 20% off coupon (they both give you around $5.00 discount) and purchase for $19.99 plus tax. The box has a $10.00 rebate sticker on it. Total cost after rebate is around $10.00.

Coupons are regularly mailed or printed in newspapers.

I am not advocating that Oxi Clean is/isn't a good product (I personally believe it helps but it does not meet all of the claims) so please do not start a war on the product.

There are also other Oxi Clean and Orange Glo rebates available at $5.00 on the tear pads at the display.


Forgot to check if this is a repost...if it is , sorry.

Oxiclean was the first one that I heard of. I remember seeing it on infomercials. It was one of those products that looked "too good to be true".
Then one day when I was at my dad's my step-mom washed some of my clothes that had stains (bumming around the house clothes) and they came out totally clean. I had washed these things at least 20 times and the stains had never budged. I asked what she used and she swore by Oxiclean. Apparently they had started selling it in stores.

When I got home I checked the local stores but couldn't find it. I did, however, see a few detergents that were starting to add "oxygen cleaning" to their formulas. A few months later Wal-Mart started stocking it. Now you can find it almost everywhere. Now I use it for almost everything. It even works for cleaning sinks (just fill it up with hot water, drop in some oxy clean, and the stains lift away).

Just my $0.02

I would have to say it does a fair job on carpet stains. That is what I use it for mostly. I have a beige berber and it gets the d@mn mulberry stains out of the carpet when people forget to take shoes off after walking under the tree. I usually jump on it within a few hours though. Well, once I did not get to them until the next morning...we were all snortin drunk....I passed out.:D

Oxiclean works great. Just make sure that you rinse it out of whatever you're washing very well. It tends to leave a white, powdery residue on things. The residue turns slimy when wet. By the way, it works fairly well on those pit stains...

I was real skeptical of this stuff, but it really does a great job on certain kinds of things. Specifically organic type stains. Like pet pee. My wife says it did a bangup job on shower mildew if you let it sit a while. One great thing about it, it doesn't smell like most chemical cleaners and almost has no odor. I've only had one container, but this really does look like a good deal based on my experience.

I just went out and got this. It came out to be $21 after the coupon.

With $10 rebate, in the end it would be $11.

But, as a bonus, the tub of Oxi-Clean inside the box has a special free squirt bottle and 2 shammies offer. This offer only requires the UPC code from the tub, no receipt or anything. You have to include $1 for shipping, but that's not overpriced.

I'm trying it on my carpet as we speak. It started bubbling =)

I'm sure the best way to have clean carpet is to never get it stained, but Oxiclean cleaned up my stain, about 6 months old.

Well, as a pro carpet cleaner (Arizona Quick Dry for you Metro Detroiters), here is my experience with Oxy-Clean. The best uses for it seem to be right after a nasty (possibly discoloring) stain happens (pee, wine, kool-aid). One bad side effect I have seen was it leaves behind a really white spot. I mean really white on any color of carpet. Upon first inspection, it looked as if it was bleached out. It wasn't until further cleaning that it was really a residue that was left at the surface and easily rinsed out with my chemicals. My advice on this is the same as I give to any spotters out there. Follow the spot treatment with a thorough rinsing of just water or club soda. If possible, remove the extra moisture with a shop-vac to make it dry as fast as possible. The residues from spotters attract dust and dirt at a much higher pace, hence why rinsing is essential. Of the many available spotters out there, I do recommend Oxy-clean and the Chem-Dry Stain Extinguisher. Resolve, Dishsoap, Simple Green are all high PH soaps than leave a nasty residue if not rinsed correctly.
Any more carpet cleaning questions can be directed to me via PM or at owner@arizonaquickdry.com
Hope that helps a little.
