Bleach Is My Friend

Ahh, bleach it has so many uses.

It salvages many clothes at our house.  My kids are not dainty eaters or players, especially not when they are babies.  They regularly trash their clothes with chocolate pudding, mud, or anything else dark and staining. 


 I put their clothes in the wash with bleach and out they come, no more stains. 


 Now, you do have to be careful what you bleach, not all colors are color fast and so some of their clothes started out a different color, but what good is a brightly colored outfit that is so stained that they cannot wear it?  I wash it with bleach and they have a slightly different colored outfit with new life.

This romper used to be about the same color as the ribbon on it.  Now it it a light green, but I like it, you can see the flowers more.




Living in the pacific northwest mold happens.  In our window sills, 
in the shower,


 in the closets 


on the walls and ceiling.  

It is just a part of life.

Here I think some food got splattered on the ceiling above the front door.  No one noticed until it started to grow.


But spray that mold with bleach and water and magically the mold disappears (be sure your room is well ventilated).

We sprayed it with a bleach solution and after a few minutes it is starting to work. 


Look at that magic!


Here are some more results, 
the shower,


And the closet.




Then there is the bleach you use on your hair.  Put a few highlights in and drab boring hair, gains life and vibrancy!


I love bleach.

I need to make friends with bleach. I'm still mostly afraid of it.
