oxygen bleach

Peroxide-based whitener

Oxygen bleach is a cleaning agent that uses oxygen-releasing compounds like hydrogen peroxide or sodium percarbonate to remove stains and whiten fabrics.

Unlike chlorine bleach, it's gentler on colors and fabrics: Use oxygen bleach on that wine stain.

It's also called color-safe bleach or non-chlorine bleach.
