Sodium percarbonate.

Don't mix with bleach (sodium hypochorite). The resultant chemical are bad for washing machine and people.

OxiClean®

Sodium Percarbonate:According to research by Laundry Alternative, OxiClean® consists of 50 to 60 percent sodium percarbonate. Sodium percarbonate must be added to water to be activated. When activated, it breaks down into hydrogen peroxide and sodium carbonate in solution. The bubbling action, or the release of oxygen molecules, loosens stain molecules from fibers so they can be rinsed away.

Soda Ash (Sodium Carbonate): Sodium carbonate, or soda ash, is also sold separately as washing soda. As one component of activated sodium percarbonate, it boosts the water's pH, making it more alkaline, which neutralizes acids that may be produced during the cleaning process so the stain molecules can be rinsed away easily. When properly dissolved, the pH of OxiClean® can be as high as 11. Some items, such as carpeting, have warranty limitations or recommended pH cleaning of no more than 10.

Hydrogen Peroxide:The hydrogen peroxide component of the activated sodium percarbonate works as a bleach and sanitizer. It breaks down into oxygen and water.

Surfactants (Detergents): OxiClean® contains low-sudsing surfactants to complete the cleaning process. These are non-ionic detergents, which are neutral and do not react to hard water ions.

Is volcanic ash an ingredient of toothpaste?

The answer to this question is Yes. Fine-grained volcanic ash is used as a polishing compound, and can be found in toothpaste and household scrubbing compounds. While most toothpaste tubes will give you the ingredients of the toothpaste, volcanic ash is nowhere to be seen on the list of ingredients. This is because volcanic ash is called tephra and it is ground down to a very fine power before it is added to the other ingredients that makes up the active ingredients of the toothpaste. It is interesting to note, that not all the active ingredients of the toothpaste are listed on the toothpaste tube.
