Cinderella's Carraige

I learned something new last week. I found a bathtub stain that wouldn’t budge with just elbow grease. I went after it with a scrubby sponge and bleach, but it was still there. That was odd. Stranger still was the fact that I couldn’t SMELL the bleach. I investigated online, and found this: “When Clorox Bleach is stored between 50°F and 70F° and away from sunlight, it will maintain label strength of the sodium hypochlorite active for up to 6 months (at this point hospitals should replace it).  After 6 months it starts breaking down into salt and water, but it will still work well for the home consumer up to a year.  Since it’s always diluted before use, you can just use a little more.  Beyond a year, it should be replaced because the rate of decomposition into salt and water speeds up, which is a big part of why it’s environmentally friendly.”
