At first I was kind of confused, because it's right between the regular "Bleach" (i.e.: containing chlorine) - and the OxiClean, ColorSafe, Clorox2, and other "Oxygen based cleaners" Well, I gave the jug a whirl and it works great. It comes in the same jug as the regular Chlorine Bleach, only it says on the bottle, Chlorine Free, so make sure you grab the right one :) From what I've seen, it is color safe.....don't know how it compares to the Clorox2 "Color-Safe Blach" or even the "other" Great Valye "Color Safe Bleach" alternative (it comes in a smaller bottle, with a better handle, that's about it). What's nice is that it has the "HE" seal of approval, for High-Efficiency washers :) So I was pleased there too. But yea, am kind of curious, cause it says to only add 3 ounces, big filling up that big basin must dilute it quite a bit.....magic I guess? lol. But the clothes do come out cleaner I think.....I just add the liquid chlorine free bleach to my bleach dispenser, and then add my liquid detergent + baking soda to the detergent dispenser, and off it goes.

I can't stand the smell of regular bleach, so that makes avoiding it so easy :) I have a recommendation for mildewy grout-I've had great luck with Method's Grout and Tile cleaner. It's way more effective than the toxic stuff with bleach, by a long shot! Great explanation of how non-chlorine bleach works-thanks!
