Whatever happened to good old THIN bleach?

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

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

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

I prefer thick bleach, personally.

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

I buy thin bleach in Morrisons all the time

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Off you go again Mabon1 😂😂😂😂😂

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.

I’ve got a couple of bottles of thin bleach , waiting to be poured on to the weeds on my drive !

Why all the fuss, bleach is bleach, horrid stuff.
If its thick, surely you don't need so much, and can still dilute it.
I disinfect my kitchen cloths in Zoflora and wash regularly in the washing machine.

I don't use it either, it's too easy to end up with bleached splashes on fabrics or whatever. And it doesn't work on limescale, just makes it white. It's banned from our house.

I would like to know why thick bleach isn’t thick anymore, they have shoved the prices up & it’s crap!
Just use this thick-thin stuff to whiten my tea towels & cloths in cold water (hot water turns cottons yellow)

I just use thick bleach can’t see what’s the difference is they both beach things, thick or thin they work the same
