Oxyclean bad for the garden?
Okay, I'm not really sure the best place to ask this question, but how bad would oxyclean be dumped in your garden?
I just received an email in which I learn that I have to dump the water that I soak the church linens in outside rather than letting it go down the drain. The problem is we use oxyclean to get the stains out. I could dump it under my deck where I don't have anything growing. Is this super bad?

Re: Oxyclean bad for the garden?
A quick look at the MSDS sheet for it makes me think it is fine. It is basically just washing soda and hyrogen peroxide. http://householdproducts.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/household/brands?tbl=brands&id=15010001
Well-diluted hydrogen peroxide looks like it has some healing benefits for plants: http://www.hydroponics-gardening-information.com/Hydrogen_Peroxide.html
Washing soda is made from plants (the ashes of plants), but I can't find anything on how plants will react to it. I can tell you that I use it in my water-safe laundry detergent and we will be trying to harvest that grey water for our forthcoming organic garden in the spring. So, I'd feel comfortable with giving it a try.
