I love Biokleen products and find they all work well. For folks who live in the country and have a septic system, less toxic products are certainly the way to go. Last time we had the system pumped, the technician asked what we did to keep our system so healthy. People who use bleach or harsh chemicals kill all the enzymes which is not good for their system. The incident that prompted me to write this review was last week when one of my dogs had super disgusting diarrhea on the carpet and I had no hope of getting it clean. I used the Biokleen Bleach Plus full strength, let it sit 5 minutes, then shampooed the carpet with my low-tech home unit. I was amazed! Clean carpet! I highly recommend Biokleen.

I've used this Bi-O-Kleen product for a couple of years for all my clothes and bedding. Having allergies and skin sensitive to harsh detergents and bleach, I find this bleach cleans well (of course, it's not Clorax) and it is easy on my skin and nose! I also use Bi-O-Kleen's laundry and can recommend it, too.

I didn't buy this product from Amazon, but another retailer. I've always checked out amazon.com to see if they actually sell products I've liked, because the deals are always better. Yes, I do love this product...I don't use chemicals in my home and haven't for years, this product whitens as well as bleach would and doesn't give your clothes that awful bleach smell afterwards.

I will buy my next batch of natural products from amazon.com!

We have used every kind of laundry bleach on the market over the years, from liquid perchlorite (Clorox) to many variants of color-safe ("oxygen") bleaches, both those based on sodium percarbonate (like Biokleen Oxygen Plus) and those based on sodium perborate. After giving all of those fair trials, we have been using Biokleen Oxygen Plus Bleach for many years; obviously we were and are satisfied with its performance, and our expectation is that we will continue to use it until something better comes along.

However, the packaging is a pain ... literally. The plastic cylindrical container that Biokleen puts the bleach into has an opening at the top that is too small for an adult hand to reach into to scoop out the bleach. (Biokleen uses the same size and shape container for its powder dishwasher detergent.) And the top of the cylinder has a very sharp inward-turned lip that sooner or later (probably sooner) will leave you with a bleeding scrape on the knuckle of one or more fingers as you try to reach the scoop into the container. What you are going to end up doing, then, is to place the measuring scoop on top of the washing machine and to pour, or attempt to pour, the bleach into the scoop. But then that inward-facing lip comes into play again to guarantee that the bleach will not pour smoothly, and you end up with bleach on the top of the washing machine. The package is just a very bad design; the only thing good to say about it is that it can be placed on a damp surface and the moisture will not seep through the bottom as it will with cardboard-packaged bleaches.

The consistency of Biokleen Oxygen Plus Bleach is similar to granulated sugar, but the particle size apparently is not uniform, because when pouring the bleach from the container into the scoop, we experience momentary nasal irritation, which indicates that invisible fines of the product are getting entrained into the air and inhaled; we cannot see the fines, but we can feel them in our nostrils.

With better packaging, this would comfortably rate as a 5-star product; with the present packaging, I can give it no more than 3 stars.

My wife likes this very much because it is so much more gentle on her things than regular bleach. She uses it on my stuff too so it does not wear the fabric out so quickly like beach does. We signed up for automatic shipment of a case every 6 months because if you sign up for automatic shipments Amazon gives you 15% off. You can discontinue the shipments anytime or select a different shipping frequency.

When you have enough moments where you accidentally bleach things with regular bleach, then this product will make you very happy. I never ruin anything while using the Oxegenated bleach, but have been know to turn things various shades when using regular bleach.

The product is also much more convenient to use because it is lightweight and the container is smaller, therefore making it easy to pull in and out of wherever you keep your laundry products.

The scent is never strong and when you use regular bleach, items always seem to have that "bleachy" scent which distracts from lovely products like scented softeners.

If you want to also bleach your towels and they are in multiple colors, then this product won't bleach out the colors and you can feel safe about washing colors all together. Also works well for whites.

~The Rebecca Review

I read rave reviews on another site and since I am trying to be more eco-friendly, I ordered a case of it from here. I soaked some dirt and grass stained white socks prior to putting them in the laundry. I followed the directions and after a couple of hours, there was no difference, so I kept adding more and more at hourly intervals until half a conatiner was used. It barely effected the dirt or grass stain. I consider it quite a waste of money and now wished I had only purchased one container from the other web site that sells them individually. As an aside, I was equally disappointed w/ the cleaner that I also bought a case of as it does NOT remove or clean as advertised.

I read about the product in Martha Stewart's magazine of eco-friendly cleaning products. I really like the product. It has a nice smell and seems to brighten my clothes. However, you now have to buy a 12 bottles from the vendor when before I was buying one or two at a time whenever I needed it.
