Nellie's Oxygen Brightener Bucket, 500 Scoops

The 500-scoop bucket of Nellie's Oxygen Brightener is the middle path: far more supply than a tin, without committing to the full 1,100-scoop pail. For a household that adds a scoop to most loads, one bucket quietly covers a very long stretch of laundry days.

The powder works by oxygenating the wash water: that oxygen breaks stains apart at the source while loosening the dirt, dullness, and odor a load carries in with it. It is a chlorine-free alternative to bleach, which means whites come out bright and colors stay vivid rather than fading load after load. The formula is color-safe, septic-safe, and hypoallergenic — gentle enough for the whole family's laundry — and it is made in Canada.

Using It

Scoop it into the drum or dispenser at the start of the wash, together with your usual detergent. It is formulated to partner with Nellie's Laundry Soda, and the two together handle the vast majority of what a laundry basket can throw at them. Stubborn, set-in stains respond best to a two-step approach: rub the spot with Nellie's WOW Stick Stain Remover first, then wash with a scoop of brightener in the load.
