A stable oxidizing composition and a method of preparing such composition are presented. The composition includes a peroxygen (e.g., potassium monopersulfate, percarbonate) particle suspended in an alcoholic gel. The alcohol content in the gel prevents the peroxygen particle from coming into contact with water during storage, thereby helping maintain a high available oxygen level. When the alcoholic gel is mixed with water, it becomes less viscous and exposes the peroxygen particle to the water. The peroxygen is ready for use when it dissolves in the water. Other additives may also be suspended in the alcoholic gel for storage. The composition is prepared by first preparing an alcoholic gel, then suspending a peroxygen particle in the alcoholic gel. The alcoholic gel is prepared by combining an alcohol with a polymer.
