SoPure Oxygen Bleach is a chlorine-free, colour-safe oxygen bleach powder that works alongside your usual detergent to lift stubborn stains, brighten fabrics and freshen up loads that still smell or look dull after a normal wash. It's designed as a laundry booster you add to a load rather than a standalone detergent, so it's a practical option for the milk, food and nappy-leak stains that come with a house full of little ones.
This 450g pack is a fine powder that dissolves in water to release oxygen, which is where the stain-lifting action comes from. Because it's chlorine-free and colour-safe, it's intended for use on whites and colours, and it's made without added dyes or fragrances. SoPure is a South African made brand, and this formula also leaves out chlorine bleach, optical brighteners, phosphates, phosphonates and petrochemicals.
How it Works
- Oxygen-based bleaching: When the powder dissolves in water it releases oxygen, which lifts stains and brightens fabrics without the harshness of chlorine bleach.
- Detergent booster: Added to your wash alongside your detergent, it's designed to enhance the detergent's cleaning performance rather than replace it.
- Enzyme action: A blend of enzymes targets different stain types deep within the fibres, which helps remove both marks and trapped odours.
Key Ingredients
| Sodium Percarbonate |
What it does: Releases oxygen as it dissolves in water. Why it works: This oxygen-based action is what lifts stains and brightens fabrics, and it's chlorine-free so it's designed to be safe on both whites and colours. |
| Sodium Carbonate |
What it does: Adjusts the wash water to help loosen soil. Why it works: A more alkaline wash helps the oxygen action and enzymes get to work on ingrained dirt. |
| Enzyme Blend |
What it does: Protease, amylase, lipase, cellulase and Savinase enzymes target different kinds of stains. Why it works: Different enzymes break down different soils — such as protein, starch and oily marks — so a mix helps across the variety of stains a family wash throws up. |
How to Use
SoPure Oxygen Bleach can be used in a few different ways depending on how set-in the stain is. Expand a method below for its steps.
Pre-treat & Wash (small stains)
- Add 1 scoop of oxygen bleach powder to a little water to make a paste.
- Apply directly to the stain and rub it in.
- Leave to activate for a maximum of 10 minutes for colours and 15 minutes for whites.
- Wash the garment in your load with SoPure Laundry Detergent as usual.
Soak & Wash (very dirty)
- Add 2 scoops of oxygen bleach powder to 2 litres of cold or warm water.
- Let garments soak for 1 hour for colours and 6 hours for whites.
- Wash the garment in your load with SoPure Laundry Detergent as usual.
Laundry Boost (extra cleaning & brightening)
Add 2 scoops of oxygen bleach powder to your SoPure Laundry Detergent to brighten the load, then wash as usual.
Best For
The SoPure Oxygen Bleach is a great option for parents who:
- Want a laundry booster to add to their detergent for the stains and odours that come with babies and young children
- Prefer a chlorine-free, colour-safe formula they can use on both whites and colours
- Would rather wash with a powder made without added dyes, fragrances, optical brighteners, phosphates and petrochemicals
It may not be the best fit if you:
- Are looking for a complete detergent — this is designed to work alongside one, not replace it
Pandylane Pro Tip
Pandylane Pro Tip: Soak and pre-treat times are deliberately shorter for colours than for whites, and over-soaking can weaken fibres — so if you're treating a mixed pile, sort by colour first and keep an eye on the clock rather than leaving everything in together.
Disclaimer
Before treating a garment, pre-test the powder on a small, hidden area of the fabric to check it doesn't affect the colour, and avoid over-soaking fabrics to prevent weakening. Store the pack upright, in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight, and out of the reach of children. In case of contact with eyes, rinse thoroughly with water. In case of skin irritation or ingestion, contact the Poisons Information Centre on 021 689 5227 and seek medical advice.
