If you use bleach for cleaning: what do you use it for?

[greenfieldsaroundhere]

Just completely flummoxed by someone saying they use 2 x bottles per week?!?

What did they say they used it for?

Bathroom, other toilet, hard floors, kitchen sinks. But not that amount! Maybe a bottle every two weeks? Use dettol etc. For other surfaces.

General disinfecting and cleaning of the - kitchen and bathroom surfaces, fridge, floors, door handles, toilets, shower curtain, washing machine.

A bottle lasts me about a month and a half.

Kitchen and bathroom floor. Down toilet and plug holes. Get stubborn stains of work surface. Bleach cups and spoons if they stain from tea

I put it in the toilet to keep it clean.

I have also used at in the past to clean my kitchen after a werkman bled all over it in his attempts to find a cloth/ plaster after he had broken a glass. No idea what sort of diseases/ infections he had so I desinfected the whole place with bleach.

Workman

Bathroom, toilet, sink, floor (white tiles), getting tea stains off my white worktops (DP doesn't know what a dish cloth is!).

I also use it for soaking dish cloths and getting tea/coffee stains out of cups that can't go in the dishwasher.

I put it down the toilets and clean the sink and washing up bowl with it a few times a week.

I use a smaller bottle a week.

Mostly for the loo and bathrooms.

We've had pneumonia and other illnesses in the house since January time so trying to keep on top of the germs.

My mum used to use so much bleach around the house when I was younger. Bottles and bottles it just became the norm.

I have not used any since I ruined a few clothes with it; also I didn't want keep harmful chemicals in the house whilst my kids were small. I use washing up liquid and white vinegar instead.

Toilets, once a week on the floors (steam mop other times), door step once a month, bleach the sink everyday and also soak things in bleach like dish cloths before I wash them. I like to soak tea cups and spoons every now and then too.
It's still not two bottles a week! Maybe a month.
Sounds like they're overusing it, weak bleach solution is all that's needed but people chuck loads for good measure.

Baking soda can also be a good solution to clean thoroughly instead of using bleach, more enviromental friendly stuff. But bleach kills germs like nothing else.

Bathroom and kitchen floors, I bleach the bathtub every couple of weeks (I like bath bombs and the stain) toilets. I usually get through a bottle in 2 weeks to a month.
2 bottles a week feels excessive unless they have 4 bathrooms?!?

Toilet bowl and plugholes only. It's nasty stuff and I wouldn't want to be splashing it around my other surfaces.

Toilets only.

Bathroom, toilet, sinks and floors. I use a spray bottle with one capful in and I do most handles etc with it. I still only use about 1 bottle a week though. The rest of the house I use a mixture of dettol/CIF/fairy etc.

Toilet and general bathroom as my family are lazy twats who will not wipe down the tiles so we get that gross pink mould everywhere.

Kitchen occasionally - mainly for the sink.

I don't really understand using it as standard in the toilet or for other cleaning. I use a toilet cleaner which I suspect does include bleach, but we have a huge limescale problem so I have to use a special detergent otherwise we still get stains as bleach doesn't seem to have any impact on those. Ditto, in the kitchen, I need to use cleaners that include some kind of soap/detergent for degreasing.

I use it to wash washing up clothes and sponges - a squirt with fairy liquid and super hot water, soaked over night and a good rinse in the morning. This has added benefit of destaining my kitchen sink. Every few days I toss them in the machine. And when I think about it, I run all washing clothes/cleaning cloths through a machine wash with bleach as well but that's not as often because the washing machine never seems to be empty so finding a slot to do a bleach wash is just too bloody difficult

I also sometimes use it on stains in the bathroom around plug holes/ edge of the bath. But that's only very occasionally when normal cleaning doesn't seem to have been keeping on top of things.

Toilet rim - in all honestly I wouldn’t actually know how to use it otherwise. Also would be scared of causing damage with it and just think bleaching everything seems so harsh when you get specific kitchen and bathroom cleaning products.

Does it ever get on and damage your clothes?

Kitchen floor
Toilets and sinks...we have 4
Cleaning surfaces when people ill
Outside bins occasionally
Dishcloths

I only put it down the toilets, but I've got 5 of them, so we get through a lot of bleach.

Honeybee what an odd way to put it . Clean the blood up promptly as a hygiene concern obviously but why do you assume it contains 'infections' and 'diseases'. What were you imagining he had?
Best bleach anytime someone puts their sweaty hands on the countertop, as sweat, coughing sneezing and general dirty hands are much more likely to contain viral matter. Blood borne viruses are much less common.

Didn't realise bleach was used so willy nilly by people, 2 bottles a week is awful for the environment, how appalling. I rarely use it, I use it in the toilet bowl, and would use it to clean say, mould, if it appeared- but a bottle lasts months
