Clorox® Disinfecting Bleach, the bleach you've known and trusted for generations with the power to clean, whiten, disinfect, and kill bacteria and viruses.

Bleach is a powerful chemical that's great for killing germs, viruses, and so on. It's ideal for disinfecting hard surfaces. But if it's not diluted properly, or if it stays on the skin for too long, it's counterproductive. That's because bleach can lead to surface damage and skin irritation.

The chemicals can be dermally absorbed or orally ingested after one touches a disinfectant wipe, or when they stick around on surfaces after the use of disinfectants. Inhalation is also a risk, especially with spray disinfectants, and the chemicals are also known to attach to dust and go airborne.

Household cleaning products can often contain preservatives and fragrances which can cause allergic reactions, including rashes, after contact with human skin. Use of rubber gloves can help protect against skin contact with cleaning products, including disinfecting wipes.

The ingredients in Clorox bleach are water, sodium hypochlorite, sodium chloride, sodium carbonate, sodium chlorate, sodium hydroxide and sodium polyacrylate. For historical reasons, and in certain markets, the company's bleach products are sold under regional brands.

Bleach saves lives Sodium hypochlorite, the main ingredient in Clorox® bleach, is one of the most effective disinfectants on Earth, killing over 99 percent of bacteria and viruses commonly found in untreated water, such as E. coli and cholera. In fact, bleach treats water more effectively than boiling does.
