Whatever happened to good old THIN bleach?

Vintagegirl

I use Milton sterilising fluid to soak washclothes and clean worksurfaces.

Me too. Use it to sterilise my toothbrush every now and again, too. I did read that bleach has a use by date on it which is only a few months: not sure how true that is.

Off you go again Mabon1 😂😂😂😂😂

That’s not me laughing with you, by the way.

Morrisons have thin bleach. Used to be 35p now about 80p but I prefer it to thick bleach.

Asda and Morrisons have the thin bleach. I used it on the Belfast sink.

Thick or thin, they're the same strength. Thick ones just contain a thickening agent.

It may be a safety thing to make it less likely to splash.

The bleach I used, would stick to the loo & around the rim, I would leave it for a few hours.
Recently changed our loos to the rimless type, much more hygienic- just use a normal loo cleaner now.

Never heard of ‘thick’ bleach, I have to say. Bleach is bleach here. I use it in my teacups to get the tannin stains off. Then we drink it to save costs ( no ! only joking)

The most expensive bone china mugs in this house are the ones that get stained. I don't like to put them in the dishwasher now as the design started to wear off.
I bought them as a present for DH and he puts a little bleach in them topped with water.

All the supermarkets have thin bleach. Anyway if that's the most you have to gripe about, lucky you. Get a grip.

It's a chat forum.

Subjects vary.

Domestos is thick but they also do a spray bleach which is thin. Warning - take care with spray bleach -as the spray is so fine it is easy to accidentally ruin clothes while using!

I use Astonish paste on sinks and basins.

We've 2 pretty lidded crockery veg bowls on the worktop. One with a bit of bleach and some water - for dish cloths (before the daily washer load for whites ). One scraps, to be disposed of out in the shed area (then gets a bit of bleach/water - next for the dish cloths, a rotation).

Thick/thin doesn't matter to us - add the water. I suppose that saves space and transport, ecological. Practical.

Aldi, Waitrose, Sainsbury’s and M & S all stock thin bleach.

I use laundry bleach for my whites.

Perhaps, but none of those supermarkets are near to where I live.

I buy thin bleach in Morrisons all the time

I prefer thick bleach, personally.

I soak my dishcloths in water and a squirt of the thick stuff.
Just dilute it. Simple!

Vinegar does the trick beautifully and is not so lethal, smells so much better too.

I’ve never found a reason to buy or use bleach. Nasty stuff.

Most of the Supermarket brands are thinner. Maybe not thin as before but thinner. I just always put a squirt of the thick stuff in a fairly clean leftover dishwash water. (I wash by hand as there's only me) Drop my cloth in that, sometimes overnight. I actually like the thick stuff myself.

I bought a 4 litre container of "thin" bleach from Amazon. Needed a lot for cleaning slabs.
