Line 4 on the scoop for each gallon of warm water, warm to hot but never boiling. Clothes soak up to 6 hours for the best result; check the stain before anything goes in the dryer. On hard surfaces, leave the mix 5 to 30 minutes and never let it dry. A pro tile and grout cleaning runs $250 to $700 (HomeGuide). Shower curtain liner: cool water, delicate cycle, powder straight into the drum, then hang it back up, never the dryer. Cushions: fabric and mesh only, not metal, resin, plastic or wood furniture. Never keep the mixed solution in anything sealed: the peroxide keeps giving off oxygen, and a closed container can burst. Never add chlorine bleach, ammonia or other household cleaners. No wool, silk, leather or dry-clean-only. Test a hidden spot, wear gloves, and keep the powder and the water away from your eyes. ⏱ CHAPTERS 0:00 What else can you clean with OxiClean? 0:24 Does OxiClean expire?
