Tammy Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I know it SAYS you can....but I am still skeered, LOL! It just seems to me it would lighten those darks....right? . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winni Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I'd be "skeered," too! I have accidentally put very light beige clothes in with my whites (well, actually, my kids did)...and they came out a bit lighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomLovesClassics Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Yes I do, and have not had any issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vettechmomof2 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I wash ALL clothes together, no seperating here and use 1/2 scoop of Oxi per load, with a tiny squirt of Tide Free(about 1 tsp ). We have never had problems and my children do laundry far to often to not see problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melinda Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Yep, we do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skaterbabs Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Oxyclean is your friend. :lol: I've never had it damage ANYTHING, but it doesn't work on petro-based stained (motor oil, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faithseed Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 We use it with everything. Of course, generally speaking, my "nice" clothes aren't usually dirty enough to need Oxiclean, so I can't give you an long term report. But normal everyday stuff, dark or light- you bet!

skaterbabs Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I've used Oxyclean on everything from silk to cotton to wool. Works great, although I'd limit how often you use it on silk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LG Gone Wild Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Well, I don't. I did it once with a load of darks and it faded my clothes quite a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHGrandma Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I've had it fade things. Most recently I had on black jeans while trying to deliver a dead calf, that's about 100 times more vile than you can imagine unless you've done it. When I was done, I stripped off all my outer clothes and threw them in the washer together. I had my black jeans, a pink sweatshirt, and a white shop towel in there. I put in my Tide HE, and a scoop of Oxyclean with the Tide. The white shop towel came out a lovely sky blue, my pink sweatshirt is a pretty lavender, and my black jeans are not so black anymore. But they were really clean! I wear a lot of pocket T's on the farm, the colorful ones. If I'm not careful I will get spots on them from the Oxyclean.

teamturner Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I don't like the powder Oxyclean as I think it can lighten the clothes if it hasn't dissolved in the water first. I only use the liquid and the spray for stains. I had problems particularly with reds in my old top loader. I've not tried the powder w/my front loader.
