Pictures please ?

Oxy Clean contains sodium percarbonate (Na2CO3•H2O2), in the presence of water this degrades to release hydrogen peroxide and by proxy oxygen in the gaseous state. Leave it long enough in a sealed container and it makes for one hell of a clean up!

Sounds like when my sister thought dish soap would be a good alternative for the dishwasher... Foamed up and out and all over three rooms about 2' high.

I use similar chemicals in my research and I can tell your at those crystals are persistent as all hell. Try using a mild acid, like vinegar in water, to clean it up.
