Yes, non-chlorine bleach will whiten your laundry and remove stains. The hydrogen peroxide in it oxidizes organic material similar to how chlorine does. However, this process is much slower and weaker when using hydrogen peroxide instead of chlorine.
Even though both non-chlorine and chlorine bleaches are used for cleaning your clothing, they do not have the same efficacy for cleaning or disinfecting surfaces around your home. They were not made or tested to do that.
Clorox does suggest using the product to clean and disinfectant fabrics that can be used safely with sodium hypochlorite bleach. Seventh Generation, which makes a chlorine-free bleach that is safe for use on colored fabrics, says the product does not include a disinfectant or kill germs.
The basic difference between chlorine and bleach is that chlorine is a natural element, while bleach is a solution of many elements. Moreover, chlorine occurs in nature as an essential part of plants and animals. It also can take shape in two states of matter – gas and liquid.
Hydrogen peroxide should last at least a year after being opened, as long as dirt does not get in it. If dirt gets in the bottle, the shelf life depends on the nature of the dirt. The hydrogen peroxide could last another year, or just a few days.
Diluted household bleach is thus recommended for the disinfection of facilities. As bleach irritates mucous membranes, the skin and the airway, decomposes under heat or light and reacts readily with other chemicals, caution should be exercised in the use of it.
The white stuff is most likely salt or a little excess lye that's dropping out of solution. Cleaning it out is a good thing, but I wouldn't worry about it.
Non-chlorine bleach can be used to clean and disinfect surfaces and objects. Non-chlorine bleach won't remove color, so you can use it on colored clothing, upholstery and carpet. Non-chlorine bleach may take longer to work, however, than chlorine bleach and its effects won't be as strong.

No, Seventh Generation Chlorine Free Bleach is not a registered disinfectant. This product is simply a 3-5% hydrogen peroxide solution that can be used as a laundry additive.
Can you clean with vinegar and bleach? You should never clean with these two ingredients combined. Mixing chlorine bleach, which contains sodium hypochlorite, with any type of acid like vinegar creates chlorine gas, a dangerous chemical that's deadly in high volumes.
Bleach does not destroy the spore - essentially, seeds - underneath. Only EPA-registered mold and mildew disinfectants labeled as a fungicide and mildewstat will do the job.
The best natural disinfectants include alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, vinegar, hot water, and some essential oils. Evidence suggests that in some cases, many of these natural disinfectants can be as effective at killing germs as chemical cleaners like bleach.
Non Chlorine Shock is a powerful, odourless oxidising agent, which essentially means it works to eliminate contaminents in hot tub water. Oxidation is different to sanitisation. Oxidation is the breaking down of the oils and organics in your water whereas sanitisation is the killing of bacteria.
Brief history of bleach
Next came “non-chlorine” bleach, which tells you what it's not, but doesn't tell you much about what it is: hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) bleach that is safe for nearly all machine washable colored fabric. That's why non-chlorine bleach is commonly called “Color Safe Bleach” or “Bleach for Colors.”
OxiClean™ Versatile Stain Remover Free. It's the go-to product for tough stains on laundry and almost any other surface in your home. OxiClean™ Versatile Stain Remover Free is chlorine bleach-free and color safe.
Chlorine bleach is great at removing stains and odors on white clothing, but can wreak havoc on colored fabrics by leaving faded splotches or even burning holes. It also has incredible sanitizing power. Non-chlorine bleach, however, is typically used to clean and brighten colored or patterned clothing.
Chlorine bleach is not good for every fabric and has a very harsh smell, so oxygen bleaches were developed that clean as well as chlorine bleaches in most applications, but are safer on fabrics and are less harsh. Both are effective, but one may be preferable over the other depending on the application.
Clorox ColorLoad Bleach is designed to penetrate and fight tough stains in colored loads of laundry with oxygen bleach, bringing pristine Clorox clean to every load. This non-chlorine bleach breaks apart coffee, oily foods, red wine and mud stains with oxygen.

Bleach can expire. After a shelf life of six months, bleach starts to degrade. Even in its original bottle, bleach becomes 20 percent less effective as each year goes by. Bleach mixed with water at a 1:9 ratio (i.e. 10 percent bleach) is potent for about a day (it's more unstable in its diluted form).
BLEACH DOESN'T CLEAR DRAIN CLOGS.
It cannot dissolve things like food waste, breadcrumbs, grease, and hair. Instead, pouring bleach into a clogged drain will make things worse. The bleach could react with other chemicals, creating dangerous fumes, and if the reaction is violent, it can even burst your drain pipes.
