The Beauty & Beast Of Bleach
Let's compare the two main forms of 'bleach' & you decide which one you would prefer.
1. Chlorine Based
Usually, liquid based with strong unpleasant smell. Made from Sodium Hypochlorite diluted with water to around 5% (this means its approx. 95% water!)
- It will remove stains, clean & disinfect.
- Less expensive to make
- Harsh on fabrics & clothing
- Can bleach colours
- Harsh smells & harsh on respiratory systems
- Loses effectiveness over time
- Toxic to aquatic life
- Harmful to bacteria in septic tank
2. Oxybleach
The liquid version is simply Hydrogen Peroxide, a classified medical grade disinfectant. But you will most commonly find this in a powder version where the hydrogen peroxide has been mixed with a sodium like Washing Soda.
- It will remove stains, clean & disinfect.
- More expensive to produce
- Safe on majority of fabrics & clothing
- Is colour safe
- No fragrance, harsh smells, or fumes
- More stable & longer lasting
- Not toxic to aquatic life
- Safe for bacteria in septic tanks
THE SOLUTION IS SIMPLE
You need to ditch any chlorine bleach, which is typically liquid, smelly & very harsh. Algae blooms, health issues & ruined clothes are just a few of the consequences of its use & there is a better way!
Replace it with one natural ingredient called Sodium Percarbonate which is
- Safe for aquatic systems
- Safe for the environment
- Safe to use.
And is one super powerful, versatile & effective green cleaning ingredient.
