“Splashless” Clorox bleach: Only ingredients statement sanitize.

According to the company, they came out with a thicker splashless variety, and the regular type which could inadvertently splatter where it was not intended. The exact amount of the disinfectant, sodium hypochlorite, is stated on the regular product, it is conspicuously missing on the splashless variety. Surprise, surprise, the splashless version does not disinfect or sanitize.

How did the people in my Generation survive with all that splashing Bleach.

I remember sitting around eating Lead infused Paint Chips and then going out to ride my Bike without wearing a Helmet, not even knowing the dangers of splashing Bleach.

Oh the Humanity.

It was part of mandatory yearly biosafety training for anyone who may be working with blood or blood components. Plus it was posted everywhere in the labs of a large international medical device company.

Clorox is constantly changing their labels and I have to agree that it is very difficult to deal with. You have to read the labels thoroughly. The latest thing that happens just a few months ago was that the containers suddenly got smaller again. The last time that happened Clorox jumped from 3% to 6% on the amount of Chlorine. So I checked and this time it has jumped all the way up to 8.5%.

So people need to realize that this is no longer your momma’s Clorox. It is very strong now.

And I am talking about the regular bleach. The splash-less stuff behaves like bubble bath.

“saltwater pools are better in every conceivable way.”

You say that now but just wait until you get a shark infestation.

Ha! At least we don’t have to worry about baby sharks anymore - even the grandkids are too old to listen to that, um, ‘stuff’...
