Fun Facts
- Household bleach is derived from sodium chloride, also known as common table salt.
- Clorox® bleach begins and ends as salt water: 95% to 98% of household bleach quickly breaks down into salt and water, while the remaining byproducts are effectively treated by sewer or septic systems. No bleach gets to the environment.
- French scientist, Louis Pasteur, pioneered the use of sodium hypochlorite as a disinfectant, the active ingredient in bleach.
