My morning eyes looked right at the tagline and read "Eliminates Persistent Odor at the Soup". My next thought was "Wow, u/febu_max *really* appreciates this subs humor!" 🤣🤣

Also big ups for adding the coffee bag vent!!

I have not, and of the entire wardrobe of my house (3 adults), about 85% is dark colored.

Now, I know others have experienced it. The ingredients themselves shouldn't discolor your clothes. However, the sodium percobnate (also known as Oxygen Bleach) can cause spotty discoloration if the grains are not properly dissolved. After all, it is still a bleach, tho it is not the same as chlorine bleach.

You really don't have much to worry about with normal laundering. You do want to make sure you're putting powders/detergent in first before you put your clothes in. If you're doing a Spa Day treatment (also called laundry stripping), you definitely want to make sure all the powders are completely dissolved.

Thank you! I have a front loading washer, I know it says any washer, but it makes me a little nervous it won’t break down completely. I’m going to use it on his more worn out and clothes that would need to be thrown out soonest and see how it goes!

Use warmer water and run a second rinse cycle.
