Note that it only requires a few drops in a gallonof water to keep fresh water potable, but adding a lot of bleach to dirty water only makes it more toxic, not safe(r) to drink.

Answer 2

Yes, you can wash dishes with vinegar or bleach in the water, but bleach is the more common additive. 1T bleach per gallon of water should kill any bacteria present. Vinegar - especially apple cider vinegar - won't do the same job. White Vinegar also kills mold, germs & bacteria but for washing dishes most people use bleach. You can spritz a 5% vinegar (straight white vinegar from the bottle) on cutting boards or counter tops & let it sit over night. The smell dissipates in a few hours, leaving the surfaces germ-free.

Answer 3

WARNING - Household/Laundry Bleach is corrosive and will harm you if drink it.

IF you think you have ingested bleach you need to get medical help immediately....... call 911 (999 in the UK) for an ambulance and get yourself to your local hospital casualty department IMMEDIATELY - take the bleach bottle with you so that the medics can see the product you have ingested.

Answer 4

You can die drinking bleach.
