    If you left a bottle of bleach on a counter.. opened... and no one
    ever, EVER touched it.... 
    
     would that bottle of bleach ever... EVER  hurt anyone?

    The fumes might hurt someone.

    Seriously, I came a lot closer to offing myself with a bottle of bleach
    once than I ever have with a gun...
    
    For a little extra money, I used to clean my Dad's music studio. One
    day, I got the wise idea that I would mix a ammonia with bleach to
    make a super-duper floor cleaner... the resulting vapor cloud led
    to the evacuation of the 4th floor of the Day Building in Worcester
    Mass...

    I was only 10 years old (or thereabouts) when this happened... I just
    felt it was important to point this out, lest you think idiocy followed
    me to adulthood... :-)

enemie.

    Are we talking chlorine or peroxy bleach?  
    
    Let's be specific here.

    yo, -b...i had a similiar (tho not as major) problem...
    
    once, about 4 years ago, i had this roommate who decided one day to get
    a dog...which was not allowed in the condo...it was a blaq lab...the
    cutest thing, but being a puppy, he was rambuncious (sp)...so during
    the day, she kept him in one of the bathrooms (we had 2) and for just
    in case, she put paper down in the shower (it was one of those that
    didn't have a tub...just a shower stall)...well, after months of this,
    the blaq inq from the paper started staining the floor of the shower,
    and she would not stop this habit, even after i put the dog in her room
    for the day...and eventually she moved out, with the dog, but did not
    repair one bit of damage left by the mutt...so i had to...nothing was
    getting that inq out...i used comet, i used windex, i used 409...then i
    thought about the bleach...which actually started working...then, when
    i took a header onto the toilet, much to my remaining roomies
    amusement, i remember there was amonia in windex and 409...
    
    but i got that damn shower clean!!!!
    
     
142.18MPGS::MARKEYMy big stick is a BerettaTue Dec 06 1994 20:429
    >i took a header onto the toilet, much to my remaining roomies
    >amusement, i remember there was amonia in windex and 409...
    
    Not to mention, a fair amount of amonia in doggie pee pee too...
    
    I hope you gave that roommate a good smaq for laughing at you
    like that... :-)
    
    -b
142.19BARSTR::JANDROWGreen Eyed Lady...Tue Dec 06 1994 20:5110
    
    
    well, by the time i got to the bleach, there was no doggie pee pee
    anwhere to be seen...but still...
    
    and no, i didn't smaq him...it was pretty stupid of me to be mixing
    everything...plus it gave us one more thing to hate the other roomie
    for...
    
    
142.20POWDML::LAUERLittle Chamber of PerditionWed Dec 07 1994 01:504
    
    I've found that Clorox brand chlorine bleach whitens laundry much better 
    than generic brands of chlorine bleach.

    i occassionally use bleach when i do the laundry...i like the smell it
    leaves on my clothes...smells a lot cleaner than with out it.  can't
    say i have a preference on which brand i use, but i like the 'fresh
    scent' the best...
    
    now, have you ever used baking soda in your wash???

      Jim,
    
      Hunters use baking soda in the was with their hunting clothes, we use 
    it to remove as much of the human scent as possible, also it doesnt
    have UV brightners or "wonderfull spring smell".

142.33GAVEL::JANDROWGreen Eyed Lady...Wed Dec 07 1994 12:1214
    
    
    baking soda, tho it tastes horrible, is a wonderful additive to
    toothpaste.  i have even brushed with just water and baking soda and it
    leave my mouth feeling cleaner than when i just use tooth paste.
    
    now, about the baking soda in the wash...on the back of the box, it
    lists its many uses...one of them is in the laundry.  i am assuming
    (tho i realize you shouldn'g) that it helps eliminate what ever odors
    are in your clothes.  i tried it once, but the box said to use 1/2 cup
    per load, and i didn't use that much, so maybe i didn't use enough to
    tell the difference...

    I am troubled yet elated at the amount of discussion in this topic. I
    think I shall develop some distinct personalities so that I can manage
    the trauma I encounter in the box.

    will dierdre have as much trouble as glenn does in keeping lower-body
    attire in place?
142.38POLAR::RICHARDSONWed Dec 07 1994 13:425
    Dierdre will no doubt have many troubles, but when they become
    traumatic, she'll split in order to handle them. I would imagine that
    one of the personalities might be an exhibitionist.

    Friend of mine claims that she's found the best whitener/stain remover
    yet. (Just a claim ya'unnerstand).
    
    She mixes about a half a cup of Clorox bleach with a half a cup of (are
    ya ready?) Cascade automatic dishwasher detergent. She dials up a
    'soak' cycle on her washin' machine. It's supposta get out almost
    anything. 
    
    Either it works real well or she does it just ta get high on the fumes.
    (Or the fumes make everything look white for a coupla days maybe?)

     I believe it....
    
    I had a Dunkin Donuts travel mug that was so stained inside I couldn't
    get it clean.... Someone suggested filling it with water and adding a
    small scoop of Cascade.... 
    
    
      Did that, and the next morning the stains were comletely gone.... 
    
    Only problem now is... my tongue has that "sheeting action"!!!! :) :)

Borax is good, too. I add a half cup to my laundry every week, especially
because of hardness in the water.

You get used to the mule droppings after a while.

142.50POLAR::RICHARDSONThu Dec 08 1994 18:165
