What exactly is the difference?? And don’t say one is thicker than the other Grin

What do you use them for in real life??

Thin bleach is really runny whereas thick bleach is more clingy for jobs like round the rim of the loo.

I use thin.each when diluting in water for washing floors etc. Thick bleach when I want it to stay where I put it for a bit such as in the toilet.

Thin mixes in water etc easier, thick stays where you put it (e.g. Toilet bowl)

Although tbf thick bleach also mixes very easily, so save yourself the trouble and just buy thick

I would pick the thick one to squirt round the loo. I occasionally bleach out my cups using a very dilute solution of the thin one with hot water. I know it's frowned upon in Mumsnet world to do that but I do rinse them very thoroughly after and no one has died yet.

All use of bleach is frowned on and gawdelpya if you own a loo brush

Thin bleach has always seemed rather pointless to me. I mean you can dilute thick bleach and make it thin. Anyway, doesn't bleach need a certain amount of contact time in order to kill the germs?
