The Miracle Laundry OXI Powder Stain Remover is designed to remove stains from fabrics, by either adding the product to your machine wash or by soaking the fabrics in water laced with it. Can you use The Miracle Laundry OXI Powder Stain Remover on blinds in a washing machine? Anyway, while “The Miracle Laundry OXI Powder Stain Remover” is not the same as The Pink Stuff, the fact that it races out of the same stable and is designed for uh, miraculously removing stains from laundry using an OXI powder-based active agent (just a guess) made me inclined to explore what happens if you use The Miracle Laundry OXI Powder Stain Remover on fabric blinds. Washing Machines: Add to your detergent drawer on top of your usual detergent. For normal loads add 1 scoop, for tough stains use 2 scoops.

Just a guess, but I’m assuming that this uh, nasty-sounding gear and the OXI that reputable brands proudly laud as having the stain-removing prowess of a Labrador retriever faced with a dropped lasagne are not, in fact, one and the same thing.Directions for use: The Pink Stuff The Miracle Laundry Oxi Powder Stain Remover for Whites is for colour fast garments and fabrics only. For spot treatment of stains, use The Pink Stuff Pre Treat Stain Remover Spray.

This is a “no” from me for at least 95% of blinds, for either logistical reasons or “will damage your blinds” reasons respectively, or in most cases, both. When it comes to vertical blinds, the non-waterproof type can’t be soaked in a bath of water mixed with The Miracle Laundry OXI Powder Stain Remover for the same reason that the other non-waterproof blinds I mentioned can’t. Non-waterproof fabric blinds can’t be washed in the machine, for two reasons. The first of these is that washing them in liberal amounts of water will almost certainly damage their fabric (colour running, fading, water marking, other) even without the addition of a fairly harsh stain remover. Waterproof vertical blinds though can theoretically be soaked in water like waterproof roller blinds can; but this would almost certainly be overkill and/or not really see The Miracle Laundry OXI Powder Stain Remover used to its full potential or in the intended way. In-wash or fabric cleaning solutions can’t penetrate the fibres of waterproof fabrics, and as was the case with the machine-washing experiment, this would possibly remove/dissolve the starching used on the fabric too. Can you use The Miracle Laundry OXI powder Stain Remover on blinds to safely remove stains or marks?Roller blinds, Roman blinds, and day and night blinds can’t be washed in a washing machine for logistical reasons. But can you use The Miracle Laundry OXI Powder Stain Remover on blinds by soaking the blinds in a solution of it? Can you use The Miracle Laundry OXI Powder Stain Remover on blinds made of fabric? No, I don’t recommend this. What is “The Miracle Laundry OXI Powder Stain Remover” anyway, and how did the topic even come up? Also good questions, my friends.

This blog post will tell you what happens if you use The Miracle Laundry OXI Powder Stain Remover on blinds, and why I suggest not trying this at home. What is The Miracle Laundry OXI Powder Stain Remover anyway? Now for the sake of honesty, I need to make clear that I can claim absolutely zero expertise in chemicals, ingredient applications/interactions, and/or product-safety-data-sheet interpretation.

Anyway, if you want to know about using The Pink Stuff on blinds and whether or not this is wise, please mosey on over to find out the results of our experiments within this accompanying blog post.

Store upright in a cool place away from direct sunlight. Do not expose to extreme temperatures. Dispose of contents/container in accordance with local regulations. Pre Soak: Dissolve 1 scoop into 3L water and soak for 1 hour max and then wash as normal or rinse thoroughly.

Waterproof vertical blind louvres though can potentially be washed at a low temperature in a washing machine with great care, although this would certainly not be my go-to solution for cleaning them. The second of these is that most fabric blinds (including roller blinds, day and night blinds, and roman blinds) are permanently attached to their upper tube/header rail, which negates the issue by virtue of the fact that they can’t physically go into the machine anyway!Probably not. Whilst in theory, soaking the fabric part of a waterproof roller blind would be safe enough, the fact that the fabric is waterproof would probably negate any benefit of using a product of this type. The MLOPSR (my typing finger is tired now) is designed to lift stains by penetrating the fibres of the fabric and loosening them; this doesn’t happen with waterproof fabrics, as they don’t absorb water. With this in mind, myself and a couple of the less-essential dudes from Downstairs decided to drag our experiment with The Pink Stuff out until home time, by testing out whether or not The Miracle Laundry OXI Powder Stain Remover could be used to clean blinds/remove stains from fabric blinds safely in turn. The Miracle Laundry OXI Powder Stain Remover is another product from within the “Pink Stuff” range, and is designed for use on fabrics specifically, rather than hard surfaces such as you might use The Pink Stuff itself on. Whilst that was definitely fun at the time, the fact that I’m now writing an essay containing science-y information parsed from product safety data sheets has made this whole game a lot heavier going than I’d intended it to be when I executed a smooth, seamless, and fully justifiable day away from my desk.
