Chlorine bleach is a chemical solution primarily made of sodium hypochlorite, which is used for disinfecting and whitening. It is commonly found in household cleaning products and laundry detergents. Chlorine bleach works by breaking down stains and killing bacteria, viruses, and fungi, making it effective for sanitizing surfaces and fabrics. When using chlorine bleach, it is important to follow safety guidelines, as it can be harmful if ingested or if it comes into contact with skin. Always dilute it with water and use it in well-ventilated areas. Proper storage is also essential to prevent accidental exposure and maintain its effectiveness.
