5-6% bleach is a common bleach concentration used for household cleaning purposes. It effectively sanitizes surfaces, removes stains and sanitizes areas. However, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s directions and take the necessary safety precautions when using bleach. This includes ensuring proper ventilation, wearing protective gloves and clothing, and avoiding mixing bleach with other cleaning products. It is also recommended to spot-check an inconspicuous area before using bleach on any delicate or colored fabrics, as this may cause discoloration.

Sodium hypochlorite is a compound often used as a bleaching agent. It is commonly found in household bleach and is used to whiten and disinfect clothing, remove stains, and disinfect surfaces. In addition to household uses, sodium hypochlorite is used in a variety of industrial applications, such as water treatment and the production of paper and textiles. However, it is important to use sodium hypochlorite with caution because it can be corrosive and harmful if not handled properly.

And Yantai Jietong Water Treatment Technology Co., Ltd. is also well known for manufacturing sodium hypochlorite (5-12%) generators. These generators are used to produce sodium hypochlorite (5-7g/l) on-site, or 5-12% high strength sodium hypochlorite, a convenient and cost-effective way to generate this chemical for a variety of water treatment applications and industrial application. These generators are designed to produce sodium hypochlorite solutions through the electrolysis of brine water, providing a reliable and sustainable source of disinfectant for water treatment and sanitation purposes. Yantai Jietong’s sodium hypochlorite generator is used in municipal water treatment, swimming pool disinfection, industrial water treatment and other industries.

Usage of household bleach

Safety preparation

Wear protective equipment: Wear gloves and a mask before use, and operate in a well ventilated environment to avoid direct contact with the skin or inhalation of irritating gases.

Read product instructions: The usage methods and applicable scenarios of different types of bleaching agents (such as chlorine or oxygen) may vary, so be sure to check the product label first.

Dilution and usage steps

Proportional dilution: The typical dilution ratio of household bleach to water is 1:10 to 1:50 (e.g. 1 part bleach to 9-49 parts water), and the specific ratio needs to be adjusted according to the degree of stains and the material of the clothing.

Soaking treatment:

Fully immerse the clothes or surfaces that need to be bleached in a diluted bleach solution for a typical soaking time of 25-45 minutes (depending on the type of stain).

For stubborn stains, apply bleach directly, brush lightly, and then soak.

Post cleaning treatment: After soaking, thoroughly rinse the clothing or surface with clean water to remove residual bleach.

Precautions

Distinguishing bleach types:

Oxygen bleach (such as sodium percarbonate) is suitable for light colored, colorful clothing and sensitive materials, with mild properties.

Chlorine containing bleach (hypochlorite) has strong cleaning power, but may damage certain fabrics, so it is necessary to strictly follow the instructions on the clothing label.

Avoid mixing: Do not mix with other cleaning agents (such as acidic substances) to prevent the production of toxic gases.

Material compatibility: Before bleaching, check the washing label of the clothing or item to confirm whether bleach is allowed to be used to avoid damaging fabric furniture or special materials.

Storage and Environmental Protection

Store out of reach of children and keep away from food and flammable materials.

Seal the container after use to avoid environmental pollution or misuse.

Based on the above information, the correct use of bleach should be combined with product instructions, material compatibility, and safety precautions to ensure cleaning effectiveness and reduce risks.
