Question 1

what's the difference between oxyclean white and the regular oxyclean?

Accepted Answer

If you compare the safety data sheets for these two (search for "sds oxiclean versatile stain remover" and "sds oxiclean white revive", you can see the rough recipe for each. They're similar - both contain mostly (di)sodium carbonate, which is washing soda, along with some sodium percarbonate, which is basically washing soda with hydrogen peroxide. The SDS for white revive lists it as disodium carbonate, but from the CAS number we know it's the same thing.

The differences seem to be:
- The regular Oxiclean has more sodium percarbonate: 30-60% instead of 10-30%, which means that the White Revive probably has more regular sodium carbonate.
- The White Revive has some "Poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), .alpha.-undecyl-.omega.-hydroxy-", which is a surfactant/emulsifier.
- The White Revive has Tinopal CBS, which is an optical brightener. ("Tinopal® CBS-X is a fluorescent whitening agent which absorbs UV radiation and re-emits visible blue light, thus compensating the yellowish appearance of natural fibers.")
- White Revive has some proteolytic enzymes (protease), which break down proteins.
- regular Oxiclean has some Sodium metasilicate, which is a strong base that helps cleaning.

So: less peroxide, added brighteners, added enzymes.

Question 2

How is this product different than regular oxiclean? from what i am reading, i can't figure out the difference between the 2 products?

Accepted Answer

OxiClean White Revive Laundry Stain Remover powder is a laundry only product while OxiClean Versatile Stain Remover can be used outside the laundry.  OxiClean White Revive Laundry Stain Remover formula has special ingredients to boost cleaning and whitening which can only be used on laundry.

Question 3

Can i rewhiten a sweater that turned light pink

Accepted Answer

YES, if it's not wool. I have purchased both the Qxiclean White Revive in power form & liquid. If you decide to buy the power, add a cupful to about 1 gal of water in one of those 5 gal HD orange buckets, stir it up and allow the sweater to soak for approx 30 minutes before throwing it into your washing machine, along with the solution. Make sure to add some of those Downy smell good pills. If you decide to buy the liquid, (it smells much better than the powder) start the wash cycle, then STOP the cycle before the wash time has completed, and allow it to soak approx 30 minutes, then allow the wash cycle to finish.

Question 4

Ladies and Gentlemen... is this actually safe on colors? Does it fade the color to get a brighter appearance? What are your thoughts?

Accepted Answer

I have used it for over a year and it does not seem to fade colors, light or dark.
