bleach definition and meaning

What is "bleach"?

Bleach is a chemical solution used to whiten, brighten, or disinfect various surfaces or fabrics. It contains chemicals, such as chlorine or hydrogen peroxide, that work by breaking down stains or bacteria on surfaces. It is commonly used in laundry to remove tough stains and to sanitize clothes or other fabrics. When using bleach, it is important to carefully follow the instructions on the label, as it can be dangerous if not used properly. Bleach can cause skin irritation, eye damage, or respiratory problems if inhaled. It should also not be mixed with other cleaning products, such as ammonia or vinegar, as this can create harmful gases.
