- How is Clorox® Regular Bleach different from Clorox® Regular-Bleach1, concentrated?
How is Clorox® Regular Bleach different from Clorox® Regular-Bleach1, concentrated?
Clorox's answer:
We’ve done a great deal of research to ensure we are meeting consumer’s needs. In the Clorox® Regular-Bleach1, concentrated, the new Clorox® Bleach bottle will be easier to handle and easier to use in high-efficiency washing machines, which have built-in bleach dispensers. In addition, the concentrated formula will provide improved whitening on clothes and be able to kill viruses like norovirus on hard surfaces. And because the size of the bottle will be smaller, we can significantly reduce the amount of water used in bleach and the amount of packaging used, which is better for the environment.
