Bleach can be many things. In general though, solutions evaporate more slowly than pure liquids, because they have lower vapour pressures so we would not expect this to be true.

The speed of this depends on pH, temperature and volume of water.

You can sterilize the ground if you have diseased soil, but only for that reason. If you sterilize the soil you kill the bacteria that is needed for most root systems to develop a healthy plant.

Bleach will not sterilize soil as it is nuetralized by organic material.

I'm a nurse and used to work in the ER. We would get kids in who had ingested bleach or adults who drank it inadvertently. It won't kill you but if it's not diluted at all it can be corrosive to your throat and burn if you have open sores in your mouth.

Let's just say that drinking bleach is'nt good for you.

yes if you drink enough because it contains all types of chemicals and poisons

Yes drinking bleach can and will kill you.

Not even bleach will kill the Hep C virus most of the time. Hepatitis C can live at least 3 days outside the body (up to a week in some cases) - heat inactivation (autoclave) will kill the virus.

You are much better off washing your hands with soap and water.

You cannot caulk a swimming pool filter of either stainless steel, fiberglass or plastic. Does this filter have a crack in the main body? Is this filter leaking at the flange or where the two main components come together? How old is the unit? It may be covered under warranty.

You can use it for hard surfaces mainly by using 1:1 ratio or 1 gallon of water and 1 teaspoon of bleach, but I would recommended wiping the puddles up first. You could possibly use it on carpet but could discolor your carpet. If it were me I would use a little less bleach and test it first. I might use it in a carpet cleaner, at a reduced amount of bleach .

Shock is a very active chlorine that is designed to quickly attack and kill microscopic organic growth (algae). When my pool starts to become slightly cloudy and is no longer crystal clear, I know that algae is just starting to grow. When this happens, I know it's time to shock the pool. Algae grows faster in warm water. When my pool temp is 90 degrees I know it will need shock every 7 - 10 days. In the Spring and Fall when the water temp is 65 to 70 I can get by monthly. How often you shock depends on many factors. When I look at my bag, it says to shock once a week and it may have to be done more if there is rain or a lot of swimmers because of bacteria growth. You should test your pool water about 3 times a week and shock as needed.

How about Shock and Sanitizer?? Deal with the pH later. Just get started though before it's too late. I'm a first time pool owner. I recently had my vinyl pool's water (12'x3') turn green (as did I when I pulled the solar blanket back!). I only had the solar blanket on the pool when I ran out of sanitizer...and then it rained. :o( Within a day or so the algae went rampant. Since I wasn't about to drain 1700 gallons of water, especially since it had just happened, I had my work cut out for me!

I went back and forth with sanitizer and shock (lots of it), running the filter continuously for a couple of days. I tested it regularly during this time until the water cleared and the levels tested ok. I've brushed the walls, skimmed the surface, will be vacuming the floor, replacing the filter and making small tweaks in chemical levels. I called the pool mfg. and told them my story. They basically agreed that after all I've done, as long as the water is clear, the levels test ok, the pool is ok for use.

I'm going in the pool today for the first time since all this happened (and since surgery) and I can't wait. You shouldn't either! Good luck!

Bleach is poisonous. If you have ingested it or got it in your eye, you should go to an ER or call a Poison control center just to be safe. Bleach is a chemical, and it is very toxic.

Yes, but the only place I can find it is on the web....

In the Washington DC area, VIVID is available at Giant food stores.

Has anyone found it in the NY area?

If a small amount is drunk, the surface of the mouth and esophagus would be damaged and the acid in the stomach would react the the bleach, causing an upset stomach. Some chlorine gas will be released, which could damage your throat, lungs, and nose as it escapes. Depending on what additives, such as fragrances, is in the bleach, liver and kidney damage could result.

If a larger amount of bleach is drunk, it could result in major damage to the stomach and possibly death.

First aid: Drink 4-8 ounces of water or milk to dilute the bleach and DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Seek medical help immediately.

Yes. Can burn your lungs and cause serious health problems. I made the mistake of pouring bleach into steaming hot water; could not breath and still have problems to this day. Was told I burt my lungs.

yes, but it takes many gallons of clorox A: Clorox is only 5%. You would have to use 5 to10 as much of it then swimming pool liq. chlorine at 12.5%. The answer would be NO. You would end up using algaecides and other products in order to maintain the water. It could get quite costly for you.

If the vocal cords are damaged, this can indeed happen. Usually, I would expect this to be related to oral consumption of chlorine bleach, which is potentially lethal. Consider risk for self-harm.

Yes, this does work rather well, however, you need to ensure that the water is very hot before adding oxyclean to the toilet. I generally pre-warm the toilet bowl slowly by adding several buckets of hot water to the bowl over about a 15 minute time period.

The standard solution used in health care facilities for surface disinfection is a 1:10 solution of bleach and water (or a ~9% bleach solution). Some sources recommend discarding after one week, due to a breakdown in stability. For easy household mixing, add seven tablespoons of common household bleach to one quart of tap water.
