Household Bleach: Friend or Foe?

I have been concerned for some time about the over use of harsh chemicals for household cleaning. I did try some green products but found that they did not do such a great job. The exceptions were washing up liquid and washing powder both of which worked very well so I stuck with them.
I feel guilty about continuing to use harsh cleaners but am torn between concern for the environmant and my need to keep my home claen for my family.

I just don’t like using bleach. It smells, isn’t really safe around the pets, and I always fear I will ruin my clothes. No bleach for me.

My wife can’t stand the stuff and to be very honest nor can I. I am always looking to eco cleaning products, and use vinegar lots which works a treat

this is not done if we just keep on harming the environment at such a rate this will never end up in the benefit of anyone. we must from today stop using bleach and instead use lemons and baking soda which shall improve t the quality if the clothe!!

I agree with lemons and baking soda. In fact, bleach could damage the quality of the clothes especially the prints and all

Good to see that there are alternatives, I’ve always hated being near bleach 🙁 I just cant stand the smell of it.
