Adding peroxide to DS

April 24 2010 at 1:12 AM		 Walt  
In the video on Hydrox you state that you had to use a different polymer otherwise it will turn to jelly.

Do you mean on the carpet? or in the bottle?

I've heard of people adding an ounce of peroxide to DS as a booster. Is this a monumentally bad idea?

Additionally would Hydrox be safe to use on cotton fabric that has say white and blue stripes (assuming it's wet cleanable)?

Thanks in advance.

YES it is a monumentally bad idea! Adding peroxide to any detergent is a bad idea. Peroxide needs to be in an acidic base or it will kill the peroxide. Alkaline detergents will not suit peroxide very well.

Additionally would Hydrox be safe to use on cotton fabric that has say white and blue stripes (assuming it's wet cleanable)?

YES Encap-HydrOx is safe for cotton that is wet cleanable. In fact I would say that it is perfect for that, since it will help to overcome possible browning.

Excellent questions by the way happy.gif
