How do you fix a bleach stain on carpet?
Put a rug over it. Ok, Seriously now if the spot is not large you can trim the carpet fibers. You could also try to dye the area or cut the bad piece out and insert a matching remnant. Other than that I don't know if there is much you can do. If you can, treat the area immediately with copious amounts of cold water. For chlorine bleach, add 1 Tbsp. vinegar in each 600 mls water. If the colour has been removed by the bleach, it cannot readily be restored.
What happens if you drink bleach?
I don't know, but I wouldn't try this without adult supervision, unless you are an adult, because orange juice is very acidic because of the citrus level, and if mixed with the chemical, bleach the outcome might not be too good.
Can you use household bleach to chlorinate and shock swimming pools?
Because bleach is only 5% sodium hyptochlorite, while the chlorine you buy at the pool store is about 96%.
well household bleach is 3 to 6% sodium hypochlorite, The pool stuff is 10.5 to 13% sodium hypochlorite so you would need to use much more. When shocking you need to raise your current chlorine level up by 10 times any less and you are wasting chemical and your time, Just don't use the cented kind it will create to many phosphates and cost even more in the long run.
Compare the entire label of each container. Minor change or addition to 1st answer. the 96% chlor is going to be granular and the percentage is more like 98%. It will also have conditioner in it. To compare apples to apples the liquid pool store chlor is 12.5% as opposed to 5%. Now, which do you think is going to do a better job? Household bleach has 95 % inert ingredients in it among other things that you probably do not want in your pool.
5% = more trips to the store, larger quantities or volumn used to accomplish job. Comes in throwaway bottles and cardboard containers that may leak in transit and that have to be rinsed and/or sent to the dump or recycled. Hard to pour - they glug, glug, glug. Takes longer to work. Probably not at the required 5% when finally sold to you because it sat on the dock at the back of the store for hours in the sunlight in clear bottles. Degrades fast.
12.5% = Pay a deposit but it can be refunded. Comes in a protective plastic bin or case that can contain a leak should one occur. Bottles are refillable and pour directly to the pool WITHOUT THE GLUG, GLUG, GLUG. Easy to pour. Less time to work. Degrades slower.

You CAN use liquid chlorine bleach to shock the pool. It is generally 5.25% sodium hypochlorite whereas the pool store liquid chlorine is about 10 to 12% sodium hypochlorite. You'll just need to use roughly twice as much. To get 5 ppm rise in a 20,000 gallon pool, you will need about 1 gallon of liquid chlorine from the pool store and that would be like 2 gallons of liquid chlorine bleach from the grocery. Liquid bleach at the store generally comes in opaque white plastic bottles that prevent light from passing through. Don't use scented bleach as it will just contaminate your pool with fragrances which include a variety of chemicals that you just don't need. Read the label. Best to buy one that is unscented and has the % sodium hypchlorite listed. I just bought 10 gallons of cheap store brand stuff that is unscented and states on the label that it is 5.25% sodium hypochlorite. I saved 50% of my money this way, but I do have more jugs to handle. I consider it worth it.
SAFETY FIRST!!! Whether using pool store liquid chlorine or grocery store bleach or any other chemicals, always remember safety first in handling any chemicals.--Use proper protective gear, handle carefully, don't mix chemicals, be serious and not playful, take care not to splash. Follow label directions or material safety data sheets. Never mix chlorine and non-chlorine bleach or other chemicals. Poisonous gas may result.
Can you use household bleach to chlorinate a saltwater pool?

How many gallons of chlorine bleach do I add to 3800 gallon pool?
One gallon of standard 5.25% sodium hypochlorite liquid bleach. In a clean pool, this should bring the chlorine level to 3-5ppm. If it's murky, add 6 gallons to "shock" the pool. Then wait for the levels to fall. See WARNING. Vacuum the sediment and enjoy!
WARNING:
#1: TEST THE CHLORINE LEVELS BEFORE SWIMMING!
#2: DO NOT ENTER THE POOL BEFORE THE CHLORINE LEVEL FALLS BELOW 5ppm!
#3 FAILING TO DO SO CAN CAUSE SEVERE IRRITATION TO THE MUCOUS MEMBRANES!

Don't do it. Clorox isn't the type of bleach for hair. If you want to bleach your hair, go to the store, and buy hair lightener. It might be expensive, but you should do that instead.
Here's why Clorox isn't good for bleaching hair. The main ingredient in Clorox is sodium hypochlorite, also known as chlorine bleach. It is also a common ingredient in drain openers and is used to help dissolve hair. Chlorine can lighten hair or turn it an odd color, but it also makes it finer. Your hair will end up fried if you bleach it with Clorox. Or your hair may be completely dissolved and you may even end up with chemical burns. Therefore, don't do it. It's good for white fabrics, but not for hair.

What effects can chlorine bleach have on the human body?
Chlorine bleach is a dangerous substance and can cause a multitude of injuries.
1 Contact injuries: First and second degree chemical burns to any part of the body, especially the eyes.
2 Inhalation injuries: pulmonary edema, angioedema, pulmonary embolism, emphysema, bronchospasm and in cases where gaseous chlorine is released and inhaled (due to mixing with acid), a quick death due to searing of the alveoli.
3 Ingestion injuries: First and second degree chemical burns to the lining of the mouth and the gums (sometimes causing tooth loss). In large doses, bleach will cause severe gastric damage, such as perforation of the alimentary canal (esophagus, stomach, duodenum) leading to internal bleeding, vomiting, leakage of stomach/intestinal contents into the abdominal cavity, ultimately causing necrosis, sepsis and death.
Is it safe to mix hydrogen peroxide with chlorine bleach?

Why do white t-shirts require only non-chlorine bleach?
White t-shirts often contain synthetic materials like polyester or elastane that can be damaged by chlorine bleach. Non-chlorine bleach is gentler and safer to use on these fabrics, helping to maintain the shirt's color and integrity.
What is the preferred mix of bleach and water for disinfecting?
Any Chlorine bleach, properly applied makes an excellent "big job" disinfectant. As you're interested in applying Chlorine to the area, and you don't get about fabric softeners and such, the purer, less fancy, and therefore cheaper the bleach is, the better it'll work as a large area disinfectant. Note that in any facilities, there are procedures defined that explain in detail how to disinfect with potentially dangerous chemicals, such as chlorine. Failure to follow those procedures to the letter can result in injury or death -- really. So be careful. * Make sure the room is very well ventillated when disinfecting with Chlorine Bleach, or wear breathing gear. * Eye protection and protected clothing are a must. * DONT mix the bleach with anything not listed in the procedures in order to improve "performance". Some things are deadly to mx with chlorine. * If burned, flush the area with clean, non-chlorinated water for 20 minutes or more. Burn treatment will be included in the procedures. * Be aware of evacuation procedures, again detailed in your manual. I know this sounds like a lot of warnings for something you might buy in a grocery store. Please be aware though that hospitals don't always buy the over-the-counter low concentration chlorine bleach and that chlorine works so well as a disinfectant because -- really -- it's a toxin. Also, accidentally mixing chlorine with a wide range of readily available chemicals can have very fast, very lethal results.
Can you mix household bleach and pool chlorine?
It is not sensible to mix bleach and chlorine, or any other cleaners, especially as the question appears to be about a swimming pool? It has been known that, potentially, the gas given off, when chemicals are haphazardly mixed can cause death! Always read the labels and use household cleaners and swimming pool chemicals - carefully.
