help Clorox Regular-Bleach FAQ
What is the active chemical ingredient in Clorox Regular-Bleach?
The active ingredient is sodium hypochlorite, which is diluted in water to a concentration of around 6% to 8.25% in standard household bottles. This compound acts as a powerful oxidizing agent to kill bacteria and whiten fabrics.
Is it safe to mix Clorox Regular-Bleach with vinegar or ammonia for tougher cleaning jobs?
You should absolutely never mix bleach with vinegar, ammonia, or rubbing alcohol. Doing so creates highly toxic gases, such as chloramine or chlorine gas, which can cause severe respiratory damage or even be fatal.
Can I pour Clorox Regular-Bleach directly onto my colored laundry to remove a stain?
No, Clorox Regular-Bleach should only be used on sturdy, colorfast whites because the sodium hypochlorite will aggressively pull the dye from colored fabrics. For colored clothing, you should use a color-safe bleach alternative that utilizes hydrogen peroxide instead.
Will standard Clorox Regular-Bleach kill viruses like the COVID-19 virus on surfaces?
Yes, when used as directed on hard, non-porous surfaces, EPA-registered Clorox Regular-Bleach is highly effective at killing the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It generally requires the surface to remain visibly wet with the diluted solution for about 5 to 10 minutes to ensure proper disinfection.
