I keep seeing people commenting on how often they use bleach in their cleaning routine and I'm really surprised by how much it seems to be used.
I never use bleach unless someone is ill and usually not even then - just a disinfectant spray.
My kitchen and bathroom are lovely and clean. I usually just use a damp sponge or cloth with a bit of washing up liquid or whatever.
I don't get why people think bleach is necessary - and it is so poisonous, not just to us but to fish and so on. It makes me really to think there's so much of it being washed down the plug hole.
AIBU to think it doesn't really make things any cleaner than just soapy water or maybe another less harsh chemical for really tough stuff?
I promise I'm not an eco warrior or hippy. It just never really occurred to me to use the stuff except when we had a superbug and then it was necessary for a few months. Nasty stuff!

AIBU?
To think that you don't really need to use bleach for everything all the time?
