Yes, in most laundry washing scenarios, it's common to use both Oxiclean and detergent. Oxiclean is meant to be a laundry additive that helps to boost the cleaning power of your detergent. It's particularly effective at removing tough stains, brightening whites, and revitalizing colors. However, Oxiclean is not a detergent on its own; it doesn't contain the surfactants needed to lift and remove dirt and oils from fabrics.
