All Oxi Active Laundry Detergent Reviews And Experiences

All Oxi Active laundry detergent is one of the many laundry products manufactured and distributed by the Sun Productions Corporation.


This detergent is designed to remove stains by including the Oxi Active ingredient, which is a variety of oxygen bleach.

You can find out more about how oxygen bleach works to remove stains here.

Below is a collection of reviews of this detergent from readers. As you will see, the most common issue with this product is not its stain fighting power but the number of allergic reactions reported.

Given this pattern of reaction and the existence of other products that offer similar stain fighting qualities without such problems, I do not recommend this detergent.

Scroll down for the reviews below. In addition, I would love to hear from you about your experiences with this or any other laundry detergent.

All Oxi Active Laundry Detergent Review

by Stacey
(Baltimore, MD)

Stacey has provided this All Oxi Active laundry detergent review.

Stacey says:

The brand of detergent that I use the most is the All with oxygen bleach added, for HE machines.

Since it is for the HE washer I can use less detergent to wash a bigger load of clothes which is really great.

It is the liquid formula and can be used for any temperature of water.

I like the detergent because it keeps my clothes really clean. Even the clothes that my husband soils with oil from his machines at work.

The smell is fabulous and with the oxygen bleach added it makes them sparkle.

In the past, when I was using other detergents, I would always use dryer sheets because the other detergents didn't smell as good once they were done washing, but with All Oxi Active I don't need to use dryer sheets because the freshness lasts.

I thought I would dislike this product because of it being for the HE it's more expensive, but I think its totally worth the few extra bucks.

Taylor says:

Thanks Stacey for your All Oxi Active laundry detergent review.

***Update - After receiving more reviews (see below) I would not recommend using this product. Something within it is causing many people to experience allergic reactions.***

In addition, this laundry detergent is similar to Arm & Hammer Plus Oxiclean detergent, which also has oxygen bleach added to the detergent itself. You can read reviews of Arm And Hammer Plus Oxiclean detergent here.

All Oxi Caused Me To Have A Major Allergic Reaction

by Susan
(Georgia)

Susan shared her experience of what happened when she used this detergent.

Susan says:

OMG itching!!! Started out subtle but intensified the longer I wore the clothing. I only itched in the clothing area and hands.

I have NEVER had a reaction to any detergent before this...it's OUT THE DOOR!!! YUCK

Taylor says:

Susan, I am so sorry to hear that you had an allergic reaction to laundry detergent.

Laundry detergent allergies can be very difficult to predict or explain sometimes, since something that causes one person to break out may not cause someone else any trouble at all.

If you would like to continue using an ALL product, you may want to try All Free and Clear, which is a scent and dye free version. ***Update - Make sure you get the original All Free & Clear if you want to still use a hypoallergenic version of this detergent. I have also gotten several reviews of All Free & Clear Oxi Active, and the version with the Oxi additive still seems to cause allergic reactions, although the original version without this additive does not.***

If you want an oxygen bleach to use on your clothes too, Oxiclean makes a free and clear version which you could add to your wash loads, as needed.

In addition, I've compiled a list of hypoallergenic laundry detergent options you could try, if it seems you've now developed allergies to more than just this one detergent.

Has anyone else used this product and experienced allergy issues?

First Time Using All Oxi I Got A Skin Rash

by SR101 Reader

A SR101 reader shared her experience with this laundry detergent, and asked me a question.

SR101 Reader says:

My first time using ALL Oxi and I had a BAD skin rash only on the clothes area. Can it be an allergy from it?

I love the smell and the clean clothing, but scared to use it again. :(

Taylor says:

I am not a doctor, so I can't diagnose a laundry detergent allergy for sure, but it sure does sound like one.

This is especially true since your rash only appeared where clothes were touching your skin, indicating that it was something on the clothes causing the problem.

As you can see from several other reviews on this page many readers have written in to complain about allergic reactions with this detergent, in both the scented and unscented versions.

I understand not wanting to waste the detergent, but it really isn't worth using if it causes health problems for you. I'd unfortunately suggest getting a new detergent.

In addition, all the items you washed with this detergent will need to be washed multiple times to get the lingering allergens out of the fabric so you can wear them again. It may take several washes, and I suggest adding either distilled white vinegar or baking soda (choose one or the other, not both) to the rinse cycle to help remove excess detergent from the clothing.

I have answered this question as part of the section of my site where I answer laundry questions. You can ask your laundry question here, or read more questions I've already answered for others.

I'm 56 And Not Allergic To Anything Except This Detergent!

by Bob Abney
(Tallahassee, FL)

I've never had an allergic reaction to anything in my life until this weekend and now I've had hives covering my complete body covered by clothing washed in All Oxy-Active.

It's absolutely incomprehensible that a company in this day and age would put anything like this on the store shelf.

It has taken me the better part of 2 days to figure out/narrow down what's giving me the rash and hives.

I figured either my wife was using itching powder on me as some kind of joke or it had to do with the clothes that I was wearing.

Now I found this site after I saw a slightly different version of the All detergent that my wife usually uses and it's All Oxy-Active.

It's absolutely irresponsible for this company to put this on store shelves!

I'm up for a class action lawsuit if anyone else is! How many are out there that can't figure their hives out?

The Waterfall Clean Scent Stainlifter Detergent Got Me Too

by Greg
(Arizona)

Greg says:

Here to report more skin rashes.

It first appeared on my feet as a rather mild, mottled rash. I thought maybe I'd gotten into some bugs and didn't think much of it.

On the second day my thighs presented the same symptoms, low, slightly red welts that were slightly itchy.

I thought I might have a sudden flea infestation, so I cleaned like mad, released a small bomb, and washed everything with extra detergent. (Ooops!)

I didn't see any critter of any sorts anywhere in my bedroom, so I also set out some flea traps in areas that weren't bombed. Zero critters detected. Hum....?

A quick search found multiple complaints regarding this detergent, so here I am.

The stuff was a freebie, and I've been using this for a while, but always in rather low amounts. (I usually get perfume-free detergent. This will learn me!)

Perhaps the allergy is a cumulative effect?

At the moment, I'm not 100% sure that this junk is the cause of my scritchies, but am leaning toward that verdict. (There are no other candidates at this time.)

Needless to say, EVERYTHING is getting a second hot rinse before I wear it.

Why must the Marketing Monkeys add so much CRAP to simple products like soap?! ;)

Update from Greg:

Yup, it was the detergent.

After giving everything a hot rinse, the symptoms reversed and faded as rapidly as they came.

Given the pattern of rash occurring only where underwear is in constant contact with skin there is really no other explanation.

IMO, All needs to recall this crap ASAP. I'm sure they could recoup their losses by selling the stuff to countries like Syria for use as a blistering agent chemical weapon.

I Got Hives From Using All Oxi Active 2 In 1

by Alexandrea

Alexandrea shared her experience with this laundry detergent with me.

Alexandrea says:

I bought All Oxi Acive 2 in 1 and I am sad to say that I HATE THE PRODUCT!

First, I have never been allergic to anything in my entire life and first time I used this it went well. I was okay after 3 days of using it, and then I broke out into hives everywhere and am itchy, and it seems like when I take a shower and dry off they go away but as soon as I put my clothes on about 1 hour or less later there are hives everywhere.

I will never buy this product again. We bought it to help with the stains in my husbands work clothes. Guess we will be buying him new work clothes and sticking to our old detergent. =(

Sad to say my doctor recommended Benadyrl, lots of non fragant lotion and warm showers and oatmeal baths.

Also I have had hives now, going on my 4th day. =(

Taylor says:

Alexandrea, I'm sorry to hear you've had this reaction to this detergent. I have gotten so many complaints about it though (in both the scented, like you used, and the non-scented version) I am guessing something about the Oxi ingredient is causing the problem for people.

Hope you feel better soon!
