No, using Clorox2® Stain Remover and Color Booster will not harm your clothes. We made the product to be a color-safe laundry additive to enhance the stain removal, cleaning and brightening power of the detergent. It is meant to be added with the detergent to provide these benefits.

It is not a full detergent formula; rather it adds ingredients like the oxygen bleach that the detergent does not contain. So I would recommend trying it as an additive with your regular detergent and see if you don't see better results.

Full Answer

Does Clorox 2 really work?

Clorox 2 Stain Remover & Color Brightener Detergent is fantastic. It works excellent at removing stains from most fabrics. If you use it as a stain remover, make sure to test a little piece of the fabric first. I also use it as a laundry detergent; it is outstanding at keeping the colors bright.

Is Clorox 2 safe to use in a he washer?

You can use both Clorox® Regular Bleach 2 and Clorox®High Efficiency Bleach in your HE washer—which one you choose is really up to you. Many consumers prefer the thicker formula of the HE product because it makes it easier to safely pour directly into the bleach dispenser.

Is it OK to use bleach mixed with Clorox 2?

Use your bleach dispenser — it delays the addition of the bleach so the detergent brighteners have a chance to deposit on the fabrics. Do the 5-minute delayed addition (mix 3/4 cup Clorox ® Regular-Bleach₂ with CLOROMAX® in a quart of water, then pour into the washer 5 minutes after agitation begins). Again, this allows the detergent ingredients to begin working and the brighteners to deposit themselves on the fabric.

Description

Remove the stain and not the color with Clorox 2 for Colors Stain Remover and Color Brightener. This color-safe formula removes 50% more stains than detergent alone with pretreating and it helps keep clothes looking newer, longer.

Perfect color brightener

I live using this color safe bleach. I have clothe many that contain some areas of white but other areas colored. the white tends to get dingy but Clorox helps to bring the white back to bright!

CHEMICAL BURNS

I do not have sensitive skin at allll, so I was very surprised (& in some serious pain) when I broke out in to severe chemical burns when exposed to this product. Be careful! Would not recommend as any product that can eat away at skin probably shouldn’t be on our bodies at all.

Useless

The powder version Clorox 2 of years ago worked great. The current Clorox 2 Liquid does not remove ANY stain. Don't waste your money buying this current product!

Didn't work

I had about 7 shirts with small drops off coffee stains. I used this product and it didn't work. It's hard to believe that others had great success including the person who wrote that it removed blood. Makes me find these reviews suspicious.
