9 Uses of Clorox® Bleach That Makes Life’s Messes Easier To Handle

by Jenn

We already know Clorox® Bleach works fabulous on laundry, but do you know other things you can use Clorox® Bleach for?  

Clorox® Bleach is one thing I almost always have in my home, and if I don’t it’s only because we ran out and I haven’t had a chance to run to the store.

To this day my mom still is known to use Clorox® Bleach for everything!  My mom has all sorts of life hacks for Clorox® Bleach.  Of course, when I moved out, got married and started my family I bought Clorox® Bleach, but it wasn’t until I lived a little that I fully understood why my mom used bleach the way she did.

It didn’t take me long to start using bleach in other areas of my home because it just makes things easier and it’s so much more affordable than purchasing 91 different cleaning products.

Here are a few ways I use Clorox® Bleach to make lifes messes easier to handle.

  • Clorox® Regular-Bleach does an outstanding job getting those yucky toilet stains out.  Simply make sure the toilet has fresh water in it, pour ¾ cups of Clorox® Regular-Bleach around the inside of your toilet bowl, scrub with your toilet brush, wait 10 to 15 mins, flush, and you should have an awesome sparkling toilet.
  • It’s also important to sanitize your plastic cutting boards.  This can be done with Clorox® Regular-Bleach, teaspoon, dishwashing detergent, and a gallon bucket.  Fill the gallon bucket with water, add 2 teaspoons of Clorox® Regular-Bleach, wash & rinse your cutting board, then place cutting board into Clorox® Regular-Bleach and water mixture.  Allow to sit 2 to 5 minutes, remove, and allow to air dry.
