OxiClean

Laundry booster brand

OxiClean is a brand of oxygen-based cleaning products, particularly a powdered stain remover that activates when dissolved in water.

The name combines "oxi" (from oxygen) with "clean." Popularized through aggressive television marketing in the early 2000s, it became synonymous with powerful stain removal: I soaked the shirt in OxiClean overnight.
