I don't find that this has a scent that carries over.

Actually, it could be this stuff I've got currently, with the pink lid also from B&M.

I'm pretty sure I've used both.

Don't get PBW! It contains a degreaser (inorganic grease that is ... Sodium Metasilicate) which you don't need and destroys PET and Polycarbonate if left in contact too long.
 
Yip, that's the one I use and have been for years now. Never noticed any scent from it.
If you mean what I put ... you're right! It's generic, nothing but sodium percarbonate in prills, slightly coated in a ... "stuff"? ... that protects it from moisture in the air (which would decompose it).

The advice I got (@Sadfield) was 10g Sodium Percarbonate per litre. And that seems perfectly okay. Made up it lasts (active) about 1/2 - two hours ... it works by decomposing! This releases Hydrogen Peroxide. It leaves Sodium Carbonate, which is also a fair cleaner but requires you to put a bit of effort in (with a cloth or brush). The remains are highly alkaline and smell of damp washing machines, which is why I never use it "no rinse" as some do.

Agitate (about 15 mins), there's not much point soaking. So, you don't need to fill the vessel being cleaned.

10g a litre a lot? And that's why I use the generic "white bag" stuff. You can use it very strong (100g per litre plus) if you've really got some muck to shift! ... Dirty flag stones, etc.
