Just make sure you only buy one can. It is one ingredient that is used to make Meth and many stores will have the police there to ask you a few questions before you leave.

Oxy-Clean doesn't come in a can does it?

That Oxy Clean is pretty incredible stuff. I'm thinking of testing it around my cat's neck, her flea collars leave a stain on her white fur.......... PETA will probably be along shortly

I hope you are joking about testing it on your cat. I'm pretty sure that stuff is posionous. Cats will lick their fur and pick up the residue. Even on the back of the neck - - they wash themselves by licking their paw and rubbing their neck repeatedly.

What is the chemical in "Oxy-Clean" anyhow?

P.S. Remember, it may be the "Mr. Clean" eraser. In fact, I suspect that it is. I tried the eraser again on my computer case without the Oxy - - and it worked good (althought it was only a minor smudge - - not the big-time smudges I had on my printer).

Not sure what their secret ingredients are......probably some sort of bleach for sure. They have to have a safety product data sheet somewhere though...it's required by law, I'll dig around

And yes, kidding about the cat. The commercial says it has many uses though

Second google item. That was fast

Well, if it wasn't poisonous, I'd be tempted to use it on MY cat.

I have a real problem with my cat who has a very nice white coat - - but likes to crawl under parked cars and picks up greasy stains on his back! Very difficult to get rid of without using chemicals that are poisonous.

Good old internet! You can find ANYTHING! Just found this:

Question
Hello Henry! Could you, would you inform me of the chemical make-up of the product "Oxyclean?" We have all seen it on the infomercials.THe sellers states that you can use it on counter tops to laundry. What chemicals composition is in it? Can it be used as a sanitizer for glass bottles?
Thanks a bunch!
R. Andersson

Answer
sodium percarbonate/sodium carbonate mix which is a stabilized mix of sodium carbonate and hydrogen peroxide with extra sodium carbonate thrown in. Hydrogen peroxide is released when you add it to water. Sanitize? For food, I doubt it has been approved and may not be strong enough. For general cleaning, it really would not work on many things. It is better for spots not crud removal. Doesn't work at all on oil/grease. If you search www.google.com for sodium percarbonate you will find info from various suppliers.

[Hmm! Didn't know that! The next time I'll probably just use hydrogen peroxide directly, instead of generating it with a powder! Much cheaper! ]

Oxyclean is made from natural ingredients and contains no toxic chemicals, cleaning solvents, or harmful abrasives. It's environmentally friendly, completely biodegradable and has NO odor. It will not harm our lakes and streams.

That is interesting? They say you can clean your dentures

I don't know about Oxy-Clean DN. I was referring to acetone. I don't think it is the same thing. Acetone is used in Meth labs that are hopefully being busted on a regular basis. Meth is bad news .

Jackal: Sorry! I got confused. My tip recommending acetone for cleaning rubber rollers was from some time ago. I came up with this NEW tip on Mr. Clean erasers + OxyClean for cleaning the SURFACE of the printer (or your computer surface), and I decided to put the new tip in the same place as the old. When you commented, I thought you were talking about my latest tip!
Acetone is DEFINITELY not the same thing as OxyClean!

AcaCandy: Oxy-Clean is NOT toxic? I am surprised!

Just had to. Seriously, I think that women have a tendancy to overdo the makeup thing when a lot of them don't have to.

Last post for me here. Back to lurking.
