Chlorine is useful for cleaning and sanitizing. Its best known use is probably as a sanitizer in Swimming Pools where it kills germs and keeps the water sparkling clean. As a cleaning agent it is sometimes called bleach and is commonly found in bathroom cleaners. Chlorine will strip the colour from many types of dyes so contact with your clothes should also be avoided.

Chlorine is a very volatile and quite dangerous substance so good ventilation is important when using it and contact with your eyes must be avoided.

It must never be mixed with other chemicals (including household chemicals and cleaners) as the gases given off can be lethal.
