OT - Opinions about bleach as a cleanser
I would like to know what you all think of using common bleach to clean your
bathroom and kitchen areas. Do you think it is safe to use around your family? Do you feel it is environmentally safe? What about those dioxins and stuff? It kills mold and stuff, but personally, I hate the smell of the stuff. |

Its weakly alkaline & will kill germs, cheap, doesnt smell and is a mild abrasive. gtoomey |

There are "spring rain" and "lemon" scented bleaches, even in the store brand varieties. Nothing kills off mold, mildew and fungus like bleach. For regular bathroom and kitchen germs, any household cleaner will do (pine-based is good, but check for actual pine content, some of them say "Pine" but have only the tiniest amount in the ingredients). Be sure to use a clean sponge, they are the real sources of germs - soak the sponge in diluted bleach and let dry, then use it to wipe down surfaces with a non-bleach cleaner. I use bleach in the toilet bowl and let it sit for awhile (so to speak) but I don't have dogs or small kids that might end up drinking from it. Bleach is fine when used with care but if you have doubts, you can use non-bleach cleaners for most jobs using the methods above. K. |

Bleach is fine. You can even brush your teeth with it if you are careful
not to swallow it. It is a much better cleaner than using some antibacterial nightmare. I think people get a bit carried away with trying to kill every little germ. You can eat mold and it doesn't hurt you... Not that I would, but just using that as an example. I used vinegar on my granite countertops. Didn't care for the smell of that, but felt it was the best cleaner for that area. Natural and safe for me. I personally feel the more you use some of these antibacterial soaps and such the more your body will be relying on them. Of course that is what the industry would love. I prefer to have my own system handle the problems due to me not wanting to live in my house non-stop and never leave, due to the possibility of encountering some germ. I never get sick and I will never use some antibacterial crap. JMHO's, Curt "Roger Zoul" wrote in message ...
