The Myth: "I heard bleach can damage my equipment." The Fact: When used as directed, Clorox® bleach is safe to use on a wide range of hard, non-porous surfaces and materials.

Bleach can irritate the skin and eyes. Breathing in bleach over a long period of time can increase your risk of cancer. A dangerous gas can be formed when bleach is combined with certain chemicals (like ammonia). Bleach causes the buildup of chloroform in the air.

Bleach is a powerful chemical that's great for killing germs, viruses, and so on. It's ideal for disinfecting hard surfaces. But if it's not diluted properly, or if it stays on the skin for too long, it's counterproductive. That's because bleach can lead to surface damage and skin irritation.

Many common bathroom surfaces are bleach-safe when bleach is used as directed: porcelain in good condition without any chips or scratches, glazed ceramic tile, sealed granite, acrylic, fiberglass and chrome fixtures are usually appropriate for cleaning and disinfecting with bleach.

Safe for use in standard and HE washers and all washable fabrics, color and white loads.

However, bleach has an unpleasant, overwhelming, and sometimes harmful odor that can linger for days.

What happens if you leave bleach on your hair for too long? There's a misconception that bleach will work better the longer you leave it on. The maximum amount of time you should leave bleach on your hair is 30 minutes. Any longer than that and you run the risk of serious damage, including brittle strands.

Because it's considered a pesticide whose job is to kill microbes, bleach can be harmful to your lungs and might irritate your respiratory tract. And, if you have a particularly sensitive nose or stomach, the smell of bleach could make you feel sick.

It's safe for all colors and fabrics, and can be used in any washer. Use this color-safe Clorox 2® laundry liquid along with your favorite detergent to conveniently remove odor, and remove visible and invisible dirt in your clothes.
