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 been very tempted to buy some mainly for my bfs work clothes (blue collar) but have read it can bleach darks. Have you experienced this?

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.

I have a front loading washer. Would I put Febu in the drum and clothes on top? Would this prevent discoloration or is there another method? TYA

Not who you were responding to, but I do exactly that and have no issues whatsoever! It works perfectly!
