Its good for most things organic. Hence algae, dirt stains, etc are likely to wash away, but its less likely to work on mineralization and things like iron oxidation. I'm guessing wildly, because my wife doesn't let me do the laundry very often. Tom

It works ok for removing algae and as a degreaser.
Doesn't work very well for iron stains.
Its primary ingredient is Sodium Carbonate.

Maybe I will buy some to add with the Dawn dish soap and water-soak my slabs in the bucket after I cut them..............

The Oxy does a great job of loosening organic material on rocks.

So its use would be be rather limited on rock.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
