Oxygen bleach, such as OxiClean, is a cleaning agent that, when added to water, breaks the bond between the surface and the stain, dirt, odor, etc., that is attached to the surface. It is usually used with laundry for stain removal purposes.

What are the ingriedients of bleach?

It depends on what kind of bleach you're talking about, there are two different kinds- "chlorine bleach" and "oxygen bleach". The main ingredients in chlorine bleach are sodium hypochlorite or calcium hypochlorite are used to bleach clothes. They work by giving off oxygen instead of pure chlorine. The actual chlorine stays behind in the mixture as table salt (sodium chloride), or as calcium chloride. In oxygen bleaches oxygen is also released. One of the more commonly known oxygen bleaches is hydrogen peroxide. Sodium percarbonate is also an example of oxygen bleach. One that is used for laundry is called "Borax".
