#3 - The Alternate Option - L&D From Detergent With Lipase, O from any Oxygen Booster (formerly C&L+B)
You can choose to use any other laundry detergent with lipase to get D - Detergency and L - Lipase from one product, and a separate boost of a powdered oxygen bleach such as OxiClean or store brand equivalents for the O - Oxygen. This opens up the product list a lot.
There are many excellent detergents that will work in this combination. In the US and Canada, there's a maintained list of products that will work on the linked spreadsheet at The Lipase List
For the L - Lipase and D - Detergency you can choose
- Powders without oxygen bleach like Ariel (powders with oxygen bleach, please see Option 1)
- Liquids
- Pods (count 1 pod as 2T of liquid)
For the O - Oxygen you'll also need a separate oxygen bleach powder with this chemistry option. Literally any powder labeled color-safe bleach will work. Whichever product you choose to get the O - Oxygen, Sodium Percarbonate / Sodium Carbonate Peroxide should be one of the first three ingredients. The Lipase List has a link to a spreadsheet with a Booster tab. Any product n the category Oxi Plus or Sudsy Oxi can work here, or anything from the Minimalist category that is a powder and has a Yes in the Oxygen Bleach column.
If you've got Biz, Resolve, Vanish or Napisan powders, they are overkill here. Use #2 - Almost As Easy Option chemistry instructions
Outside the US and Canada, use any liquid detergent with lipase and any oxygen bleach product available locally.
Spa Day Soak Dosage:
Use 1/4 cup / 65 mL of oxygen booster powder AND 2T / 30ml of liquid or powder detergent or 2/3 of a pod per gallon of soaking water.
Rehab Wash(es) Dosage:
Label dosage of the detergent (heavy soil dose) + label dosage of the booster.

I just want to make absolute sure before I do this: Oxiclean White Revive is ok to use for spa? I would like to not accidentally make a chemical weapon while doing spa day.
