Old bleach may not be as effective for disinfecting surfaces because it loses potency over time. It is recommended to use fresh bleach for optimal disinfection.

Will bleach remove stains on white garments if they have been washed once?

Bleach will weaken the fabric, as I found out. Try this first. Old fashioned Dial soap, the yellow kind. Dampen the stain, rub the soap into the stain, then scrub between the hands with hot water. If it is a food or grease stain, it should come right out. Rinse, then wash normally. This method gets out stains that have been ironed in, even in synthetics.


How do you sanitize and disinfect laundry without using bleach?

Boil it. The old fashioned "green" way of sanitizing laundry without bleach is to simply boil it.New front loading washers have a sanitizing cycle where the water is heated and sanitizes your clothes.The little brown bottle of Lysol, add one cup to your wash load. It too will sanitize your laundry. However, the odor from the Lysol will need to be washed out, and then add some fabric softener to mask any residual odor of the sanitizer.Pine sol original type, added to HOT water only wash load will sanitize your laundry. But there are issues with the smell, though not nearly as bad as the little brown jug of Lysol!


Do chlorine tablets get old?

Yes, chlorine tablets can lose their effectiveness over time. Exposure to moisture, heat, and sunlight can cause the tablets to degrade, making them less effective at disinfecting water. It's important to check the expiration date on the packaging and store them in a cool, dry place to maximize their shelf life.


How do I get white streaks on my jeans?

You would need to use a bleach on the jeans and let them set for a couple hours. For small, precise streaks, the best thing to use is a bleach pen -- these are sold in the laundry products section of grocery stores. For larger areas, use a spray bottle filled with ¼ bleach and ¾ water. Stuff the part of the jeans you are working on with old towels so that the bleach solution won't go all the way through, and apply the bleach check after 10 minutes and apply more if needed. Once the desired amount of streaking has been reached, wash the jeans immediately. Failing to do this will cause the bleach-soaked fibres to weaken.

Bleach is an English word. It has its origins in Old English, Old/Middle High German and Old Norse. It is one of those words that is about as close to an 'authentic' English word as you can get.
