"Is Bleach Toxic? Effects of Chlorine Bleach

"...

Products containing bleach emit hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and chlorine gas (Cl2) that can amass in dangerous levels in households. When these two gases react with light plus the citrus chemicals in common household cleaning products (for example lemon or orange-scented cleaners) or raw citric acid in foods (such as where lemons for garnishing were recently cut at the bar, or a food prep area where lemon juice was spilled), they form secondary organic aerosols (SOAs) that are often linked to various health effects throughout the body. As such, it is important to understand exactly how chlorine bleach impacts human health and the environment, as well as to be aware of bleach-free alternatives.

...

Bleach + vinegar = toxic chlorine gas;
Bleach + ammonia = toxic chloramine vapors;
Bleach + rubbing alcohol = chloroform;
Bleach + certain cleaning products = toxic chloramine vapors.

bleach

Yes. I have never used as much bleach as I do now. The Kenmore and LG sanitize cycles babied me for years. The GE just can not compare. A lot of loads end up having a little bleach added. I actually really like the Clorox bleach pacs as they are not very strong and seem to not cause any bleach spots. Just enough to keep me happy I guess. Being a healthcare professional doesn't really help the situation either, though.
With that said, I would take bleach over the quat ammonium and 'antibacterial' products any day of the week.

I don’t use it very often

I do use the Clorox Clean up spray in my kitchen sink. Spray, wait 5 min
rinse, and finish off with Bon Ami
Makes quick work out of stains and sanitizes.
For laundry, I’ll use pure sodium percarbonate along with Stpp & some kind of detergent. With hot wash, warm rinse. This work better for me than LCB, as LCB will cause yellowing on certain soils and fabrics.
On the other hand I alway keep a small bottle of LCB on hand.

No the EGGY smell

is when I have egg in dishes and run the dishwasher....and it leaves dishes covered in this smell....so I rinse any egg residue before loading in the dishwasher. It's not bad if a little egg is left on the plate/bowl... It's when you don't rinse it at all and just toss the dirty egg covered bowl in the dishwasher...It's gross. The only way I can describe it is when drinking out of a glass that appears clean and is clean...it's like a wet dog smell.... again...I know it's from egg residue. And using good detergent/bleach.. it doesn't matter. It's still there.. No issue at all if I rinse the egg off before putting plate/bowl in dishwasher.

about bleach dangers...You can get by with so little bleach...The only exposure I have to LBC is when I put it in a spray bottle...but it's only a tablespoon of LCB diluted in mostly water...I don't mix bleach with any other chemical.....
