I soak my carboys in Oxyclean to clean off the krausen. In an attempt to be green, I would like to use the left over OC/water mix to water the plants. Do you know if I will kill the plants by doing this? Thanks

Would you dump any other laundry detergent in your garden?

I don't THINK it would hurt I know gardeners use dish soap in their water cans to help soften the water ans make the plants absorb more water. There isn't anything Toxic in OC so Ithink it would be ok I have dumped it on the grass often and it didn't hurt it.

Oxyclean is not a detergent. It's a blend of sodium carbonate/sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate. You'd be dumping a solution of sodium carbonate into the garden. it would build the alkalinity in the soil.

Here's what the EPA says:

Sodium Carbonate Peroxyhydrate (128860) Fact Sheet | Pesticides | US EPA

If u want to be green and use it up, use it as it is intended as a cleaner on something outside. Like plastic chairs, patio furniture, cement or driveway, mailbox, porch, deck, garden gnome, vinyl siding, etc. etc. I really don't think it would benefit any type of foliage or plants and probably hurt them, I'm just assuming. just dump it on something you would like clean and leave it.
