I Used OxiClean Wrong for Years — Here Are 10 Ways I Use It Now

If your towels smell like a wet dog again the moment they get damp, the problem may not be your detergent. In this video, Martha shares 10 practical ways she uses OxiClean around the laundry room, kitchen, bathroom, and entryway — including towels, washing machines, collars, socks, shower liners, sneakers, rugs, containers, filters, grout, and more. You'll learn the right powder-to-water ratio, why warm water and soaking time matter, when to use a fresh solution, and why fabric softener can keep odors trapped in towels. Martha also explains what OxiClean cannot handle, including ink, hard-water scale, rust, and certain delicate materials. Most importantly, you'll hear the mistakes she learned the hard way — including a discolored rug, a damaged aluminum bowl, and why you should never mix it with bleach, ammonia, vinegar, or drain cleaner. Watch before you reach for the tub, and use the method that actually fits the stain.
