Products
Is bleach a natural product?

Can food contact surfaces be treated and cleaned with bleach?
In kitchens, work tables and utensils may be washed with bleach as long as the prescribed dosage and the recommended contact time are observed. It is compulsory to rinse the dishes after disinfection.
When was bleach / javel water invented?
In 1785, the French chemist Berthollet discovered the decolourising properties of a solution of sodium hypochlorite in the bleaching of textiles. This happened in the village of Javel (now a district of Paris' 15th arrondissement). Hence the name Javel-water.
Why does swimming pool water sting the eyes?
In swimming pools, liquid chlorine in the water counteracts microbial pollution by reacting with the organic elements contained in the impurities transferred by swimmers. It is therefore possible for chlorinated compounds to form, which have an irritating or malodorous effect. In fact, this means that the quantity of liquid chlorine in the pool water is too small and not the other way around.
Is bleach dangerous for septic tanks?

Applications
Can I use bleach to remove stains from the bottom of a cooking pot?
Cooking pots made of enamel or glass (not those made of stainless steel or aluminium) can be cleaned with 10° bleach. If your cooking pot is heavily stained, you can fill it with the bleach and leave it for 1 to 2 hours. Afterwards, pour away the water, fill the cooking pot with new water and the water boil to deodorise. Then, pour away the water again and rinse the cooking pot with tap water.
Can I mix bleach with other cleaning products/agents?
No,you should NEVER mix bleach with other cleaning products or agents. If you want to disinfect a surface perfectly, you should first wash and rinse it with clean water, then with bleach.
Can I use bleach to clean my refrigerator?
Yes, bleach deodorises and disinfects a refrigerator. Use 2 to 3 cl of 10° bleach per litre of water, leave for 5 minutes and rinse afterwards.
Can I mix bleach with a descaler?
No, never. If you mix bleach with an acid (such as a descaler), it creates a higly toxic chlorine gas. So if, by mistake, you use bleach and the bleach comes into contact with a descaler, leave the room where you're in as quickly as possible and, if possible, let the room ventilate for a few minutes.
Does bleach always have to be used with cold water?
