Percarbonate is one of the ecological ingredients we use to avoid having to resort to chemical commercial ones.
In fact, since it boasts multiple properties , having it in the pantry is truly a godsend.
In this regard, today we will see together some things you should know about sodium percarbonate!
What is it
Sodium percarbonate is a natural product of mineral origin, considered an adduct of sodium carbonate and hydrogen peroxide.
It comes in the form of a white powder very similar to bicarbonate and releases active oxygen when it comes into contact with hot water, at a temperature of at least 40°.
Where to buy it
On the market, you can find sodium percarbonate under the heading ” Sodium Carbonate Peroxide ” and described as having a whitening and bleaching function .
Although it is not always possible to find it in small supermarkets, you can buy it in some shops such as organic products, natural products, herbalist’s shops and so on.
Usually, you can find it on the shelves dedicated to cleaning or near bicarbonate and hydrogen peroxide. Alternatively, you can also buy it directly online , where it will be very easy to find it.
Property
Unlike bicarbonate, percarbonate boasts a strong whitening action, as when in contact with water at high temperatures it releases active oxygen. For this reason, it is the basic component of many environmentally friendly whiteners .
In addition to this property, it also has a strong stain-removing action and therefore can be used to remove any stains from clothes or surfaces.
Finally, I remind you that although it is considered a natural bleach, it can also be used on colored garments , as long as they can be washed at temperatures above 40 degrees.
