9 Ways to Use Blueland's Oxi Laundry Booster Around the House

Key Takeaways

• Blueland's Oxi Laundry Booster is a powder you add straight to the wash for extra stain- and odor-fighting power, but a lot of its best uses happen outside the regular cycle: soaking, spot-treating, and refreshing fabric items you might not think to wash with it.

• It's formulated to be color safe, so it works on the same load whether it's white sheets or a favorite colored t-shirt.

• Beyond the wash, it's useful for musty towels, sports gear, cloth diapers, plush toys, and anything else machine-washable that's holding onto a stain or a smell.

Blueland's Oxi Laundry Booster is a powerful powder made with plant- and mineral-based cleaning ingredient that you add to a regular wash cycle, or use on its own as a soak, to lift stains and cut odors without chlorine bleach. Add one scoop to your normal detergent for an everyday boost, or soak an item for up to six hours in one dose per gallon of water for something more stubborn.

Here are nine ways to put it to work: 

Boost a regular wash without switching detergents

The simplest use is also the one most people opt for first: add a scoop of Oxi Laundry Booster alongside your usual detergent, on any cycle. It doesn't replace your detergent, it works with it, giving whites and colors a bit more lift on everyday dirt, sweat, and light stains without changing anything else about how you wash.

Pre-soak stains before they set

Wine, grass, blood, and coffee are easier to get out before they've had time to set into the fibers. Soaking the item for up to six hours with one dose of Oxi Laundry Booster per gallon of water gives the stain more time to break down before it ever hits the wash. 

Brighten dingy whites without chlorine bleach

Whites that have gone gray or yellow over time usually aren't dirty so much as dulled by mineral buildup and repeated washing. Oxi Laundry Booster is an oxygen-based formula designed to revive whites and colors in the same load, so you don't need a separate chlorine bleach cycle to get sheets and t-shirts looking bright again.

Refresh towels and bath mats that smell musty

Towels trap moisture, and moisture is what leads to sour smells even when they look clean. A soak or an extra scoop in the wash targets the odor directly instead of just masking it with fragrance, which is why it's worth reaching for the next time your towels come out of the dryer smelling less than fresh.

Tackle sports uniforms and gym bags

Sweat, grass stains, and turf dirt make athletic gear one of the toughest laundry categories. In Blueland's own third-party lab testing against major competitor brands, a panel of evaluators scored the Oxi Laundry Booster between 0.2 and 0.9 on a 0-5 odor scale (lower means less residual smell) on body odor, smoke, and other tough odors, and it held up on grass and other common sports stains in both cold and warm water.

Revive cloth diapers and baby bibs

Baby laundry needs to handle food, formula, and diaper stains without harsh chemicals sitting close to a baby's skin. Oxi Laundry Booster is made without dyes, parabens, or phthalates, which makes it a reasonable fit for the extra-frequent washing that cloth diapers and bibs go through. As with any baby laundry routine, follow your cloth diaper manufacturer's care instructions for water temperature and detergent amounts.

Clean stuffed animals and plush toys

If a stuffed animal is machine-washable (check the tag first), a gentle cycle with a scoop of Oxi Laundry Booster can get out the grime that builds up from years of being dragged around the house, without needing a separate stain treatment.

Freshen cloth napkins and table linens

Cloth napkins and tablecloths pick up wine, sauce, and candle wax stains that regular detergent alone doesn't always fully lift. A pre-soak before washing gives the booster time to work on those stains so your table linens come out ready for the next dinner.

Strip detergent buildup from activewear

Moisture-wicking and technical fabrics can hold onto detergent and body oil residue over time, which is part of why workout clothes sometimes smell bad again within minutes of putting them on, even fresh out of the wash. An occasional soak helps clear that buildup so the fabric can actually do its job.

If you're building out a full laundry routine, Oxi Laundry Booster pairs with Blueland's laundry detergent tablets for everyday washing. It also works well in cold-water loads, which is useful if you're trying to cut down on energy use without giving up stain-fighting power.
