Clorox® Bleach

Extend the life of freshly cut flowers. Add one-quarter teaspoon (twenty drops) of Clorox bleach to each quart of water used in your vase.

Deodorize coolers and thermos bottles. Wash with diluted Clorox bleach, then rinse.

Remove mold and mildew from outdoor siding, tile, brick, stucco, and patios. Clean with a mixture of three-quarters cup Clorox bleach per gallon of water.

Remove coffee or tea stains from china cups. Soak clean china cups for five to ten minutes in a solution of one tablespoon Clorox bleach per gallon of water.

Disinfect garbage cans. Wash the garbage cans with a solution made from three-quarter cup Clorox bleach to one gallon water. Let stand for five minutes, then rinse clean.

Bail a boat. Cap an empty, clean Clorox bleach bottle, cut diagonally across the bottom, and scoop out the water.

Make a scooper. Cap a empty, clean Clorox bleach bottle, cut diagonally across the bottom, and use it to scoop up flour, sugar, rice, dog food, sand, fertilizer, or snow.

Make a pooper scooper. Cut a empty, clean Clorox bleach jug in half. Use the half with the handle to scoop.

Clean butcher blocks to prevent bacteria from breeding. Wash the cutting board with hot, sudsy water and rinse clean. Then apply a solution of three tablespoons Clorox bleach per gallon of water. Keep wet for two minutes, then rinse clean.

Make a hot cap. Cut off the bottom of an empty, clean Clorox bleach jug and place the jug over seedlings. Take the cap off during the day, and replace the cap at night. To anchor these hot caps, simply cut off the top of the handle, insert a sharp stick, and drive the stick into the ground.

Remove stains from baby clothes. Mix one-quarter cup Clorox bleach to one gallon of water in a plastic bucket. Add colorfast clothes and soak for five minutes. Rinse well, then run the clothes through a regular cycle in the washing machine.

Sift soil. Cut the bottom off an empty, clean Clorox bleach bottle at an angle to make a scooper. Insert a six-inch-diameter piece of one-quarter-inch hardware cloth to rest above the handle hole. Scoop up dirt, sift through the narrow opening, and stones will be caught by the hardware cloth.

Make a fishing or boating buoy. Cap an empty, clean Clorox bleach jug tightly, tie a rope to the handle, and tie a weight to the other end of the rope. These buoys can also be strung together to mark swimming and boating areas.

Make a carrier for small children¹s toys and crayons. Cut a hole in the side of an empty, clean Clorox bleach jug opposite the handle.
