Eliminate waste with our bucket return program.

Our Oxygen Brightener is a people- and planet-friendly laundry booster and bleach alternative made with safer ingredients and eco-friendly packaging.

This oxygen powder is just as effective as liquid bleach but is ultra-concentrated, plastic-free, preservative-free, bleach-free, and chlorine-free.

Scent

Our zero-waste bleach alternative bucket is an eco-friendly option for heavy launderers and cleaners. We send you a full 5-gallon bucket of our concentrated oxygen powder, enough for an incredible 2,560 HE loads of laundry—the equivalent of 20 Oxygen Brightener Refills!

The price of each bucket includes shipping to your home and return shipping to our factory. Keep the box it comes in and send the empty bucket back with the included pre-paid shipping label.

Our Oxygen Brightener is a bleach alternative that acts as both a laundry booster and an oxygen cleaner. Use it to cut through tough stains and persistent odors.

We use only what you need to clean your clothes and your home: an unscented powder made from sodium percarbonate and washing soda.

All of our ingredients are MADE SAFE® Certified, Leaping Bunny certified cruelty-free, and vegan. We list every ingredient, including scents, on the front label so you can see what’s in your detergent.

Due to the size and weight of these buckets, there are no refunds or returns on these buckets. We strongly advise trying our Oxygen Brightener canister before upgrading to a 5-gallon bucket.

Net wt. 40 lbs. (18.1 kg). Contains 2,560 HE (1,280 Standard) loads.

How to Use Oxygen Brightener as a Laundry Booster

Full Usage Instructions
  • How to Use Meliora Oxygen Brightener - Measure

    Measure for your machine

  • How to Use Meliora Laundry Powder - Add to Washer

    Add powder directly to the washer drum

    Oxygen Brightener dissolves in water. For best results, place directly in the drum beneath clothes, not in the dispensing drawer.

Our MADE SAFE® certification literally means that a product has been Made With Safe Ingredients™ that are not known or suspected to harm human health, animals, aquatic life, or ecosystems.

This oxygen powder is made from sodium percarbonate and washing soda without any added fragrances. Scented varieties are made with organic essential oils, not synthetic fragrances. It is free of bleach, chlorine, dyes, preservatives, and other harsh chemicals commonly used in oxygen cleaners.

Plastic-Free Laundry Powder — Meliora Cleaning Products

Concentrated, Eco-Friendly Powder

Our eco-friendly bleach alternative is concentrated to minimize waste and environmental impact. By making a concentrated dry powder, we eliminate the need for added preservatives or unnecessary plastic, like hidden liners or PVA pods and sheets

Oxygen powder is lighter and more concentrated than liquid bleach, making it more energy- and cost-effective to ship to you. 

With our zero-waste bucket program, we remove the packaging altogether and reuse buckets and the boxes they come in to send bulk laundry powder to happy homes.

Love their products!

With only 1/2 tablespoon of laundry soap our clothes get amazingly clean!

This is a great boost to my laundry routine.

Does not whiten

Honestly, this is literally just a "booster" to add to the regular detergent. I've added it to my whites and it does absolutely nothing to "brighten" them. Their detergent is worth the money. But this is a waste.

Great Oxygen Brightener Bleach Alternative Booster Refill

This is my third order of the Oxygen Brightener since I quit using Bleach in my laundry. I don’t worry about the harmful ingredients in bleach any more with this great product. I love the refill that I empty into the original canister that I bought with the first order.
