I actually waited around one day at a Walmart for the Oxiclean demonstrator to finish to take his oxi clean bottle since they just throw it away. (I wanted the nozzle cap mainly) So I put it in the bottle, shake it up and even cap it. Hasn't blown up on me yet.Melissa Jagearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07439765292197683329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-681345169052205157.post-90409486654336960912009-06-26T13:10:56.214-05:002009-06-26T13:10:56.214-05:00This may be a stupid question, but do you put it a...This may be a stupid question, but do you put it all in a bottle together?
