How Sodium Perborate Is Used in Cleaning
Sodium perborate is an active form of oxygen used to whiten, brighten, clean, and deodorize. Sodium perborate may be used in a large number of cleaning products, such as laundry detergents, automatic dishwasher detergents, oxygen powder bleaches, fabric softeners, hand dishwashing detergents, all-purpose cleaners, air fresheners and stain removers. Products like Oxi-Clean are almost entirely made up of this substance.


Its concentration in products varies. According to Chem-OnLine.org, conventional detergents may contain 8-15% of sodium perborate by weight whereas "compact" detergent powders may contain 10-20%. Some oxygen bleach powders may contain as much as 30-80%!
