Sonitron Chemox is an oxidising booster. Sonitron designed it to improve the performance of its detergents in carpet and upholstery cleaning: the oxidising chemistry helps the detergent break up organic soil, and Sonitron states it also removes foreign dyes.
The active ingredient is hydrogen peroxide at 30–60% (SDS), so this is a strong chemical that must be handled with care — see Safety below.
What It Is For
- Boosting Sonitron detergents on heavily soiled carpet and upholstery
- Organic soil that detergent alone does not shift
- Foreign dye marks (Sonitron)
Directions for Use
Sonitron does not publish dilution or dosing rates for Chemox on its website. Follow the directions on the container label, and ask us for them if you need them before you order. Always pre-test for colourfastness in an inconspicuous area: hydrogen peroxide can lift dyes and damage natural fibres if it is too strong.
Do not mix Chemox neat with any other concentrate.
Safety
Sonitron's safety data sheet (SDS 5057, revision 3, 30 January 2026) classifies Chemox as hazardous. Signal word: Danger.
- May intensify fire; oxidiser.
- Harmful if swallowed.
- Causes severe skin burns and eye damage.
- Causes serious eye irritation.
- May cause respiratory irritation.
Wear tight-fitting chemical splash goggles or a face shield and protective gloves, and work with good ventilation. Keep it away from flammable and combustible materials. Read the full SDS before use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Chemox the same as Sonitron Browning Remover Concentrate?
Both safety data sheets declare hydrogen peroxide at 30–60%, but Sonitron sells them for different jobs — Chemox as a detergent booster, Browning Remover Concentrate for cellulosic browning — and does not say whether the formulations are identical. Buy the one made for the job and follow its own label.
Can I use it with another brand of detergent?
Sonitron specifies Chemox for use with Sonitron detergents and does not publish compatibility with other brands. Pre-test before relying on it.
Why does it carry a shipping surcharge?
Chemox is classed as dangerous goods for transport (Class 5.1 oxidiser), so a dangerous goods surcharge applies.
