Best Answer

Clorox bleach is a base, as opposed to an acid. The oils that the body generates are slightly acidic, and the bleach interacts with these oils to create a soap, which is the source of the slippery feeling.

Can you bleach your hands daily?

It would seem unwise to me to bleach your hands every day. I used to work as a kitchen porter and we used a bit of bleach for cleaning difficult-to-remove tea and coffee stains, and I started to get a rash on my hands - especially round my knuckles. My guess is that after a while the skin would crack and bleed, and you really wouldn't want bleach getting into your bloodstream. Bleaching your hands will just make you more susceptible to potentially harmful germs by getting rid of both the "good" and "bad" ones. Also, you may get a rash. It is not meant for your hands. And you should always wear gloves when handling bleach.

How do you get wood stain off your hands?

Vegetable works well. Any cooking oil will do. However, if that doesn't work, pure Clorox bleach will do the job immediately - just use a rag to rub the bleach on your hands (of course, protect any clothing or furniture that could be damaged by the bleach). Make sure to wash good afterwards with soap and water.


How do you get the bleach smell off of your hands?

To remove bleach smell from hands (and that slimy feeling) pour a little vinegar or lemon juice over your hands then rinse. (bleach is alkaline, vinegar and lemon are acid, so they cancel each other out and balance the pH of your skin.) -- Candace Downing candienspdow@yahoonospam.com
