Question 1

Is it safe for the environment and to use for a dishwasher ?

Accepted Answer

It is about as safe as you can get.  It breaks down into hydrogen peroxide and sodium carbonate (baking powder).  The hydrogen peroxide decomposes to oxygen and water.  So it is safe for the environment because it leaves no lasting residue that is dangerous.  It should be OK for a dishwasher.  The hydrogen peroxide and sodium carbonate should be less corrosive that the chlorine and detergents they use for dishwasher detergent.

Question 2

Is there a reason to use this over Oxi clean? Isn't the ingredient the same thing?

Accepted Answer

I wondered the same thing. OxiClean comes out to roughly $2.30 an ounce. If this is more effective or diluted that would be good to know but I can't seem to get a direct answer. I can only find that it's perhaps half diluted compared to OxiClean. I wish someone with some chemical knowledge could drop in and answer this.

Question 3

Is this product testsd on animals?

Accepted Answer

The question of whether a product has been tested on animals is more complicated than is commonly understood. A manufacturer, say of cosmetics, may say that it doesn't test on animals. However, that doesn't mean that one or more of the ingredients in the product has been tested on animals, either recently or in the past. The vast majority of ingredients in products are purchased from chemical companies who manufacture and supply raw materials. It still seems that most consumers don't understand that. You might buy, say, "natural" vitamin C, but the company whose product you are buying obtains the vitamin C from a huge chemical company, which could be almost anywhere in the world. When I was GM of a supplement maker, we bought our vitamin C from Roche. We could have bought from other companies, and now many companies make vitamin C. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is a manufactured product, it is not derived from oranges or rose hips, or some other whole food. You could only get a tiny fraction of the doses that most people buy (hundreds of milligram) of vitamin C from a natural source, and it would be very expensive. The companies that sell to consumers misrepresent their products by describing them as "natural." But then, manufactured vitamin C is identical to what is naturally found in foods. The pill makers add things like rose hips and orange to give you the impression that those are the source of the vitamin. The same thing is true will virtually every other supplement labeled "natural." The same thing happens with cosmetics, which I've also designed and marketed.

It's highly unlikely that this manufacturer tests sodium percarbonate on animals since the chemical was first made in 1899 and animal testing has already been done. Sodium percarbonate has been tested by researchers on the skin and eyes of animals, and probably fed to some animals to determine the LD50, which is a measure of how much it takes to kill them.
