Homemade Haven Organic Sodium Percarbonate

Homemade Haven Organic Sodium Percarbonate – 250 g

What it is

Sodium Percarbonate is a powerful oxygen-based cleaning ingredient used by DIYers for laundry whitening, stain removal and deep cleaning. When mixed with warm water, it releases oxygen, helping to break down stains, brighten fabrics and lift grime without chlorine bleach.

For  some DIYers, this is the go-to ingredient when regular cleaning isn’t quite enough — especially for soaks, laundry boosters and heavy duty cleaning recipes.

What it does

• Releases oxygen to lift stains and brighten fabrics
• Helps remove built-up grime, odours and residue
• Supports whitening without chlorine bleach
• Boosts the effectiveness of laundry and cleaning blends
• Breaks down organic stains like food, sweat and dirt

Recipes you’ll use it in

Sodium Percarbonate is used across laundry and heavy duty cleaning recipes in the Homemade Haven recipe bank, including:

Laundry

• Laundry powder (boosted formula)
• Laundry booster / oxygen bleach
• Whitening soak for towels and whites
• Stain-removal soak for heavily soiled items

Household Cleaning

• Grout and tile deep clean soak
• Cleaning paste for outdoor furniture or bins

How far it goes

A 250 g pouch of sodium percarbonate typically makes:

• 10–20 DIY batches, depending on use
• Most recipes use 1–2 tablespoons (15–30 g) per batch

Examples:

• Laundry booster or soak: ~10–12 batches
• Laundry powder (boosted): ~15–20 batches
• Deep-clean soaks: ~10+ batches

This makes it a high-impact ingredient that’s used less frequently but delivers noticeable results when you need it.
