When you think of Nellie's Oxygen Brightener, you probably picture whiter whites and brighter brights - but this little powerhouse can do so much more than just freshen up your regular loads of laundry. From tackling smelly gym clothes to deodorizing pillows, Oxygen Brightener is a secret weapon your laundry room has been missing.
Ready to get the most out of your Oxygen Brightener? Here are 5 unexpected ways to use it in your laundry routine that you'll wish you'd known sooner.
1. Deodorize Stinky Gym Clothes
Workout gear - especially moisture-wicking fabrics - loves to trap odours no matter how many times you wash them. To break down sweat and bacteria buildup:
- Soak gym clothes in warm water with 1-2 scoops of Oxygen Brightener for 30 minutes before washing.
- Wash as usual with Nellie's Laundry Soda or Laundry Cubes for a fresh, odour-free result.
Bonus Tip: This pre-soak method also helps restore stretch and softness to your athletic wear!
2. Treat Stubborn Armpit Stains
Those yellow underarm stains? Blame sweat and deodorant buildup. Luckily, Oxygen Brightener can help remove these unsightly marks without bleach:
- Mix a small amount of Oxygen Brightener with water to form a paste.
- Apply directly to the stained area and let sit for 30 minutes.
- Wash with Nellie's Laundry Soda as usual.
No harsh chemicals, no damage to delicate fabrics - just fresh, clean results.
3. Freshen Up Pillows
When was the last time you washed your bed pillows? (No judgement -we've all forgotten.) Over time, sweat, oils, and dust mites make their home inside your pillows. To give them a much-needed refresh:
- Soak pillows in hot water with 2-3 scoops of Oxygen Brightener for an hour.
- Rinse thoroughly and dry completely, preferably with Nellie's Lamby Wool Dryerballs for extra fluff.
Your pillows will feel (and smell) like new again!
4. Brighten Dingy Towels
If your once-fluffy towels are looking grey or smelling less-than-fresh, it's time for an Oxygen Brightener boost:
- Add 1 scoop to your towel load along with Nellie's Laundry Soda.
- Wash in warm or hot water to dissolve body oils and built-up detergent residue.
The result? Towels that are brighter, softer, and smell incredible.
5. Laundry Stripping for Deep Cleaning
Over time, your clothes collect detergent residue, sweat, and grime that regular washes can't remove. Laundry stripping with Oxygen Brightener can fix that:
- Fill a bathtub or a large basin with hot water.
- Add 3-4 scoops of Oxygen Brightener.
- Soak clothes, towels, or sheets for 4-6 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Rinse thoroughly and wash as usual.
This deep clean brings life back to tired, dingy laundry - perfect for bedding, baby clothes, or frequently worn items.
