What you need to know before you start<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

First, some important notes for the safety and effectiveness of bleach cleaning.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We like to give you good tips so here we go with chlorine.<\/p>\n

Of departure. Never mix chlorine <\/strong>with other household cleaners, including ammonia or vinegar. Doing so could generate chlorine gas, such as chloramine or chloroform, which can be fatal. <\/strong>It’s important to wear gloves when working with bleach solutions, as any bleach product can irritate the skin.<\/p>\n

Also, it is important to store bleach cleaners safely, away from children and animals. And if you prepare a solution of bleach and water (for example, in a spray bottle), keep in mind that it will break down naturally over time due to time, light and temperature<\/strong>, so it should be replaced regularly, ideally every few days. It is recommended to make a smaller amount of bleach water solution at a time so it is not wasted.<\/p>\n

Then, What surfaces can you clean with chlorine?<\/strong> If chlorine or bleach is diluted to the proper concentration, it can be used on many hard, non-porous surfaces, such as countertops, toilets, sinks, and trash cans<\/strong>; however, it is not recommended on most metals, such as stainless steel or copper, nor on porous surfaces such as wood and many types of stone.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Do you have a chlorine-proof surface ready to disinfect?<\/strong> Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how to clean it.<\/p>\n

  • Dilute the solution: <\/strong>Dilute \u00bd cup of bleach per gallon of water for common kitchen surfaces or soaking items.<\/li>\n
  • Clean the surface:<\/strong> Keep in mind that while bleach will effectively disinfect a surface, it may not actually clean dirt and other debris. So, before applying chlorine, it is recommended to rub well with soap and water and then rinse. You can also clean the surface with an all-purpose cleaner.<\/li>\n
  • Disinfect the surface:<\/strong> Apply your bleach mixture to the surface with a clean rag or sponge, letting it sit for five minutes (always follow product label directions).<\/li>\n
  • Rinse and dry: <\/strong>Finally, rinse the surface well with lukewarm water and air dry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
