Why Do We Associate Bleach with Deep Cleaning?

For many people, the smell of bleach has become synonymous with cleanliness. Household bleach is typically made with Sodium Hypochlorite, a powerful oxidizing ingredient used for disinfecting, whitening, and stain removal.

Because of its strong disinfecting abilities, bleach has become one of the most widely used cleaning ingredients in the world. However, bleach is highly reactive and requires careful handling. Mixing bleach with ammonia or acidic cleaners can create hazardous gases.
