Shepherd has shared a short review of Oxydol laundry detergent.

When it comes to laundering uniforms, whether they are factory, restaurant, soccer, baseball, or football, I reach for the Oxydol.
It is the cheapest and most effective detergent I have found to tackle really tough dirt and stains like grass, blood, coffee, egg based, fruit, and vegetables.
I have also used it to remove old red drink stains from a white table cloth by presoaking over night.

If you have kids then you definitely have lots of laundry stains. I have used Oxydol to remove grass, mud, food, and drink stains.
It also is great at taking out odors like perspiration from smelly gym clothes.
I prefer the powder form which I use to soak stained clothes prior to washing. There is no better approach than soaking heavily stained clothes over night because the real work is being done while I am resting.
My friend works at a day care center and gets various stains on her work clothes like formula, baby food, etc. She also soaks her clothes in Oxydol and has good results, but she said that for the same stains on baby clothes Oxydol would not be the way to go since babies have much more sensitive skin than adults.
She noted that Borax and Oxi Baby (an Oxi Clean product) powders are good for soaking baby clothes and Lestoil works well on peanut butter.

To be honest I did not think that Oxydol was still available as it was something my grandmother used.
When I started working as a desk clerk at a hotel where white shirts were required every day I discovered it was still around. One of the workers at the restaurant told me if I wanted an inexpensive way to keep my shirts really white I should get some Oxydol powder and do a 30 minute soak before washing.
She also said it was excellent in getting out all kinds of stains on her white uniforms, as well as grass stains from her son's clothes.
While my job does not cause the amount of stains she has to deal with I have gotten out the occasional coffee and soft drink stains and it is definitely terrific at keeping my shirts a bright white, without the separate addition of any type of additional bleach to the wash.
BTW for stains it really helps if you mix up a paste of the Oxydol and apply it directly to the stain, leaving it on just long enough that it does not dry before dropping it in the washer, unless you prefer to do a soak longer than 30 minutes.

I also use this inexpensive and very effective detergent on my son's sports uniforms (mud, grass, blood, etc.)
Both the front of the bottle, and also on the back where the various ingredients are listed, it shows that Biz is included.
I have only been able to purchase the 50 oz bottle in my area, but I believe they do make a 100 oz size as well.
I do agree that their website could be a bit clearer.

Amy shared that she has been washing her daughter's restaurant uniforms, and the restaurant manager suggested Lestoil and BIZ for stain removal.
She also shared that a good detergent was also needed, and explained why she was using this low-cost detergent for the uniforms.
