CleaningTips- Using Bleach Clean off mold and mildew: Bleach and ammonia are both useful for removing mold and mildew both inside and outside your home. However, the two should never be used together. Wash mildew out of washable fabrics: Wet the area and rub in some powdered detergent. Then wash the garment in the hottest water set-ting permitted by the clothing manufacturer using 1/2 cup chlorine bleach, let soak for 30 minutes before washing. To Remove mildew from the grout between your bathroom tiles: Mix equal parts of chlorine bleach and water in a spray bottle, and spray it over grout. Let it sit for 15 minutes, then scrub with a stiff brush and rinse off. To Clean shower curtains: Wash them along with a couple of bath towels to prevent the plastic curtains from crinkling in warm water with 1/2 cup chlorine bleach and 1/4 cup laundry detergent. Let the washer run for a couple of minutes before loading. Put the shower curtain and towels in the dryer on the lowest temperature setting for 10 minutes, then immediately hang-dry. Sterilize second hand items: Just to be on the safe side, take your used, waterproof items and soak them for 5-10 minutes in a solution containing 3/4 cup bleach, a few drops of antibacterial dishwashing liquid, and 1 gallon warm water. Rinse well, then air-dry, preferably in sunlight. Clean butcher block cutting boards and countertops: Scrub the surface with a brush dipped in a solution of 1 teaspoon bleach diluted in 2 litres water. Scrub in small circles, and be careful not to saturate the wood. Wipe with a slightly damp paper towel, then immediately buff dry with a clean cloth. Brighten up glass dishware: Put the sparkle back in your glasses and dishes by adding a teaspoon of bleach to your soapy dishwater as you’re washing your glassware. Be sure to rinse well, and dry with a soft towel. Increase cut flowers’ longevity: Freshly cut flowers will stay fresh longer if you add 1/4 teaspoon bleach per 1 litre of vase water. This will also keep the water from getting cloudy and inhibit the growth of bacteria
