"Washing machine cleaner". It's literally just Oxiclean powder. They found a way to sell the same powder at an extremely marked up price.
Because chemical manufacturers protect exact volume formulas as trade secrets, they publish their concentrations in standard weight-percentage ranges on safety data sheets. [1]
The ingredient profiles from the official Church & Dwight Ingredient Disclosures reveal that OxiClean Washing Machine Cleaner is a harsh, stripped-down chemical descaler. In contrast, OxiClean Laundry Detergent is a gentle, complex mixture composed mostly of water, fabric-safe soap, and biological enzymes. [1, 2, 3, 4] OxiClean Ingredient Breakdown

The Cleaner is 45% to 100% active mineral strippers and oxidizers. It physically destroys mold spores and scales off old hard-water crust. [1]
The Detergent is mostly water and fabric soaps. It relies on rubbing action against clothes to pull oils away from cotton and polyester fibers. [4]
