Can you put bleach in a dishwasher?

CLOROX (TM reg) DOES NOT RECOMMEND the use of any liquid bleach product in a DISHWASHER. This is per a detailed discussion with a tech support lady at their 800 number [1-800-292-2200]. She explained that unlike clothes washing machines, diswashers do NOT have rubber and plastic seals and parts which would be resistant to the bleach. Therefore, the bleach will attack, and over time, damage and eventually destroy those seals, resulting in water leakage, and expensive replacement. I had thought that I had heard, over the years, that one could use liquid laundry bleach to disinfect a diswasher, but apparently, I was wrong. I quizzed her in depth, and could not get her to budge in Clorox's warning to NOT use bleach in a dishwasher. Therefore, I suggest not doing this, but if you "just gotta do it," do so at your own risk, and with forewarning,j3h.

It will not hurt as long as it is on the hair. You should not touch the scalp or your hands with it as it will burn and you should never use household bleach because your hair will dissolve in it.
