Sodium Percarbonate where to buy?

[The Baron]

Hi I know this has been asked many times but everytime I go to buy the oxy clean and its many variants in the supermarkets etc it does not list perfume on the tub but my wife(who also uses it) says it is perfumed, maybe not fully but slightly and I and struggling to find any that is not perfumed. I have done the usual B&M, Wilko, Lidl and other Supers and can not find any that the wife says has not some perfume in it(she uses it and deffo swears it has some albeit little perfume in it).
So my next thing is to buy sodium percarbonate but not in large quantities say a kilo or 2 but wher is the cheapest to buy small amounts?

I don't know about the cheapest, but I get mine from TMM at £10 for 1.5kg which seems a pretty decent price and at least I know it's reliable

I haven't bought it yet but I plan on getting this one. £7.50 - or if you want a bigger one they do those also.

500g - £5
1kg - £7.50
1.5kg - £10 EDIT:- this one looks like it's gone up to £10.25

Yes that's the same one @Tess Tickle - the price per kilo is a fair bit cheaper if you go for the 1.5kg pack though :-) :

Pack size	price	price/kg
500g	£5.00	£10.00
1kg	£7.50	£7.50
1.5kg	£10.00	£6.67

Absolutely yes - I think we cross-posted the original post lol

My worry is that SWMBO swears that virtually all the super/B&M type stuff has some perfume in it of one degree but they do not list it.
TETB I think I could be joining you down the rabbit hole on this one

Interesting take by Denny Conn on one of the FB groups I’m in:

I’m too frightened to actually follow his advice though, but I do generally just use the (supposedly) unscented oxi cleaner from B&M.



EDIT - for those who don’t know, Denny is a pretty high profile Homebrewer in the USA, and the man after whom WYeast named this yeast Wyeast 1450 Denny's Favourite 50 | The Malt Miller

Do you know Mick I have always used what I always thought was unscented from B&M etc but it is the wife who insists they are scented slightly?
Is this another urban myth de-bunked?

 

[The-Engineer-That-Brews]

I can guarantee you that the one from TheMaltMiller is unperfumed :-)

I think the postage will be the killer as I do not use MM very often in fact very infrequently

I had the same issue in that I could only find scented in B&M so I also buy from TMM, though admittedly I pretty much order monthly from them, so I can see if you don't use them, the postage may make it uneconomical.

Fair enough!
Mind you, order a new corny to go with it and then the postage is free ;-)

I’m doing some bottling this afternoon, so just shout if you want one mate :-)

Astonish oxi from BM,pink tub..2kg for about £3.
I'm very sensitive to smells and I can't detect anything with this. Remove any slippy residue with a wipe down with your chosen no-rinse.
I've made rather a lot of beer with this included in my process.
Next time you're out and about buy some...try it to have a practice on some non brewing items. For the cost it's not a ball ache if you don't like it. Incidentally I also use it for cleaning all sorts of other stuff...dishwasher, tipping down plug holes. Anything really that needs a soak.

It’s branded Astonish - I don’t think it’s specifically a B&M brand (I’ve bought Astonish bathroom cleaner in Tesco and Sainsburys but haven’t seen the Oxy cleaner in either shop) but B&M seem to have the biggest selection of their products.

I but it on Ebay - I have just bought 5Kg for £26 delivered from a reputable chemical company in Sussex. I repackage it in five 1Kg plastic containers I have.

Is this the astonish oxy active plus fabric stain remover? (There are so many variants).

Also, does it work with hard water? I believe sodium percarbonate isn't so great in hard water so I have been using chemclean.
