A lived-in home can sometimes mean a messy home. Good thing there's Clorox® Clean-Up® Cleaner + Bleach. This all-purpose disinfecting spray can be used on many hard, nonporous surfaces in the bathroom and kitchen, helping you tackle germs and stains from mold and mildew.
It's a BIG NO! WHY? Bleach is never ever good for your toilet cleaning. It's really harmful to use along with it actually does plastic degradation and corrosion of metal parts. Not only that it would even bleach your clothes so you need to be very careful which is also a big hassle.
Never mix household bleach (or any disinfectants) with any other cleaners or disinfectants.
Using a kitchen cleaner in the bathroom may not provide the same level of effectiveness as a bathroom-specific cleaner, which is formulated to handle soap scum and mold often found in bathrooms. It's essential to consider the specific cleaning needs of each area for the best results.
You can actually wash your dishes using clorox. Wash dishes in hot soapy water; then rinse with hot water then apply/rinse in bleach solution. Better to use 1 tablespoon per gallon of water; this produces the 200ppm concentration recommended/needed for sanitizing these surfaces.
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.
After disinfection with bleach solutions, surfaces should be rinsed and dried.
A: Some of the best bathroom cleaners that are effective and safe to use include vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, and natural enzyme cleaners.
Make a paste with baking soda and water for an all-purpose scrub that's great for grout or tub stains. Run your toothbrush holder and soap holder through the dishwasher. Soak a showerhead in vinegar to remove hard-water deposits and limescale. Keep bathrooms cleaner, longer by keeping disinfectant wipes below the sink.
Bathroom. Like in the kitchen, an all-purpose cleaner is perfect for cleaning countertops. You can also use it to clean your tub and shower surfaces. Although for soap scum, you will want to let it sit for a more extended period of time, and you may still need to use something more abrasive.
Don't mix bleach with ammonia, acids, or other cleaners. Mixing bleach with common cleaning products can cause serious injuries.
If you use all-natural cleaners, you can shower right away. However, if they're packed full of chemicals, it's better to wait a while before showering and allow the bathroom to ventilate, says Rubino.
“Chlorine bleach” uses sodium hypochlorite as the active ingredient. Clorox® Bleach and Clorox® Scented Bleach are chlorine bleaches. Cotton, polyester and cotton/poly blends can be safely washed with Clorox® Bleach or Clorox® Scented Bleach.
Pour white vinegar into the bowl to cover the stained areas. Let the vinegar soak for 30 minutes to an hour. Scrub the stained areas with a toilet brush. If the stains persist, sprinkle baking soda on the remaining stains and let it sit for up to 10 minutes, then scrub again with the toilet brush.
Pour a cup of bleach into the tank (usually one cup for every gallon), then scrub the walls to get rid of mold. Once you've eliminated the source mold, flush the toilet several times, and you're good to go. The most straightforward approach to stopping mold in the toilet is preventing mold growth in the first place.
The hydrogen peroxide in Clorox ® Urine Remover breaks down the odor at its source through oxidization and removes uric acid crystals. Surfactants, solvent and a low pH work together to clean urine stains from porous grout and other difficult surfaces.
One option is to combine a quart of water with a teaspoon of bleach in a spray bottle. Other necessary supplies include a toilet bowl brush, a mop, a cleaning cloth and/or disposable paper towels, white vinegar, baking soda, a plastic bag, a rubber band and household gloves. Spray all surfaces with disinfectant.
Outside of flu season, once a week — or biweekly, depending on how frequently the toilet is used — should suffice. Forté also recommends factoring in time to actually disinfect your cleaning supplies.
If you always have Lysol® Dual Action Wipes handy, you can wipe down sinks, tiles, toilet seats, bath tubs and trash cans as well as the bathroom floor easily – and kill 99% of bacteria.
Bleach can burn your skin if it's really strong. The fumes might bother your eyes and lungs. Wearing goggles, a mask, and gloves helps. You should also cover your feet and wear long sleeves and pants.
Procedures of Preparing/Using Diluted Bleach
Cold water should be used for dilution as hot water decomposes the active ingredient of bleach and renders it ineffective. Bleach containing 5.25% sodium hypochlorite should be diluted as follows (demonstration short):
Bleach left behind on surfaces after cleaning, even when dried, can still be toxic.
