Sonitron Safety Bleach is an oxidising stain remover for carpets and upholstery. Its active ingredient is hydrogen peroxide at 30–60% (SDS), so despite the name it is a strong chemical that must be diluted and handled with care — see Safety below.
What It Is For
- Organic and dye-type stains on carpet and upholstery that detergent spotters do not shift
- Oxidising (bleaching) stain removal without chlorine
Hydrogen peroxide removes colour by oxidation. It can lift the carpet's own dye as well as the stain, and can damage natural fibres if it is too strong, so pre-testing is not optional.
Directions for Use
Sonitron does not publish dilution rates or a method for Safety Bleach on its website. Follow the directions on the container label, and ask us for them if you need them before you order. Pre-test for colourfastness in an inconspicuous area, start weak, and increase strength only if needed.
Do not mix Safety Bleach with any other product.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe on wool?
Sonitron does not publish a fibre suitability list. Hydrogen peroxide can damage natural fibres and lift dyes, so pre-test and use the weakest solution that works.
Is it the same as Chemox or Browning Remover Concentrate?
All three safety data sheets declare hydrogen peroxide at 30–60%, but Sonitron sells them for different jobs and does not say whether the formulations are identical. Buy the one made for the job and follow its own label.
Why does it carry a shipping surcharge?
It is classed as dangerous goods for transport (Class 5.1 oxidiser), so a dangerous goods surcharge applies.
