Oxyclean, Sodium Percarbonate - Allergies Message Board

elspeth8 · 09-25-2008, 10:08 AM

Has anyone else had a bad reaction to Oxyclean or other non-chlorine bleaches? It irritates my nose and throat, and leaves a very funny taste in my mouth, even though I am very careful to open it and scoop it out only within the washing machine. Still, it seems to permeate the air. I'm just getting it out of the house. It's more irritating than bleach. Has anyone else had this experience?

Hi! YES!!! I am so allergic to the smell and have tried to use it and hold it far away from my face, but it's no use! I'd rather have good old fashioned bleach with its own horrible odor, because it doesn't bother me the way OxyClean does. The more the world tries to improve things, the worse it seems sometimes. Take care--Hopeto--
