Whitening sheets and clothing:

  • Use the right amount. You need about a cup for a normal load, 1-1/4 cups for a heavy load.
  • Don't pour bleach right onto clothes. Dilute it: 3 cups water to 1 cup bleach.
  • Don't bother to soak items in bleach more than fifteen minutes. It's ineffective after that and may damage fibers.
  • Some items (though usually not towels) yellow when chlorine bleach is used on them. Check the label.   thesource (378)

    Warning:

    Don't mix bleach with ammonia, or it will create chlorine gas, which is highly poisonous, and can kill you. Things like glass-cleaning solution often contain ammonia.   thesource (378)

    Countertop stains in your kitchen, or on linoleum or vinyl floors, can sometimes be removed using bleach. Soak a couple of paper towels in bleach and put them over the stains. After that, soak a couple more paper towels in water and lay them over the bleach-filled paper towels. Let the stack soak overnight so that the bleach can reach the stain and destroy it. For safety, test on a part of the surface that won't be noticed, before you clean the stain.   thesource (378)
