How to use Oxy Clean powder in HE washer (front-load)?

Anonymous
Maybe I'm just dense, but how do you use Oxy Clean (powder) in a High-Efficiency washer? Specifically, where does the powder go, and how much do you use? Thanks!!!!

Well OP, per the Oxyclean website the HE instructions are on the Oxyclean package... did you look there?

Is OxiClean® HE compatible?
Yes. Refer to package for HE dosage instructions.

You put it where you'd put the color-safe bleach.

How do I use it in my front-loading washing machine?
There are different methods that will allow you to use OxiClean® powder in your front-loading washer. Please choose the one that will work best for your machine. Be sure to follow the recommendations of the machine’s manufacturer.

Method 1: Completely dissolve one ounce of OxiClean® Versatile Stain Remover in 16 ounces of tap water and add the mixture to the wash through an external dispenser after the machine has started to agitate. This is the best method to use if your machine will allow it.

Method 2: If your machine is a brand that does not have an external dispenser, you may mix one ounce of OxiClean® Versatile Stain Remover with your powdered detergent.

Method 3: If you use a liquid detergent, you may dissolve one ounce of OxiClean® Versatile Stain Remover in 16 ounces of tap water and pour the mixture into the bleach dispenser. Or add OxiClean® Versatile Stain Remover powder directly to the empty tub BEFORE adding clothes.

If you would prefer a liquid stain remover and laundry booster, you might like to try our OxiClean® Triple Power Stain Fighter, which is also an excellent product.

Thanks, all. I know that the package says it can be used in HE washers, but it didn't say where it was to go, and whether it can be put in in powdered form or whether it must be mixed (with water or liquid detergent). That's what I was asking, albeit inartfully.

The product I use says to add the powder directly to the drum before you put the clothes in -- it says explicitly not to mix with a liquid detergent.

This is how I use it in my front loader HE machine, never had any problems.

That's what mine says and that's the way I use it. However, I don't think it has much effect on the clothes and I definitely will not be buying the powder for my HE washer when I'm through with this box.

Be careful with this - my HE washer warranty is voided if I use a non-HE detergent. I would check with the manufacturer.
