Clorox Ultimate Care

[veg-o-matic]

Saw this at Wally World today and gave it a sniff. It's definitely chlorine bleach. Read the label and it looks like they've added buffers so it doesn't eat through your clothes right away.

Methinks I may give it a try.

Went swimming today, so now I have a question - if chlorine bleach breaks down in six minutes, how are swimming pools possible? Is HTH the same as chlorine bleath? I assumed it kind of was, but like the powdered clorine bleach.

I love the marketing angle: PREMIUM bleach. Like McDonald's new extra-special coffee. (Sorry, I have the unfortunate luck to live 2 blocks from McD's, so I tend to read the window posters while waiting at the red light.)

no expert here,

but part of the pool equation is higher concentration of chlorine, and (supposedly) careful monitoring of the overall chemistry of a pool. I am sure there are others here who can provide greater detail.

Chlorine for Pools is stabilized

Chlorine rapidly depletes when exposed to the sun's rays. For this reason, many manufacturers produce stabilized chlorine which contains a stabilizer (cyanuric acid) that shields the chlorine from the sun so it depletes less rapidly. Have used HTH for years in our pool. We are thinking of going to the chlorine generator that uses salt to make the chlorine and also softens the water. Outdoor pools don't have as heavy of the chlorine smell with the satblizer. Indoor pools use straight chlorine with no stabilizer as no sun so it dissiaptes into the air faster.

Bleach Alone?

Stefve, As you said, I would not use bleach alone. I always use on most whites that can be bleached, as socks, dish towels, underwear, etc.

Dish towels and dish rags especially need to be bleach to kill the germs and whiten.

All I know is that when I hang my whites on the clothes line, they dazzle. We had a neighbor many years ago who did not use bleach, (talk about dingy whites??) oh my.

 

[rinso]

I still use Chlorine bleach for washing dishtowels, white cleaning rags, tighty whites, and white napkins. I always thought that bleaches don't really remove stains, they just whiten them so they don't show.

I think it is interesting that may new FL machines, don't even dispense the bleach until the first rinse. I wonder if bleach in cold water works as well as in hot or warm.

The sun itself helps bleach clothing, too.

His whites are WHTER than white

oh Ray. No one makes a better 1950's housewife than you.

How long does it take you to iron each of your wife's pleated skirts? and her unmentionables?
And how long to get those pleats in the sheer curtains and draperies ironed "just so"?

(Ducks and runs)
Just lovingly f---ing with ya Ray.
Are you giggling yet? I can see you covering you mouth with your hand. TE HE HE HE
Who loves ya baby?

Ya must be doing something right, Ray.

Nearly thirty years of marriage is the true Litmus test
Now I bet'cha laughing

Ya must be doing something right, Ray.

Rich,I guess so. I usually do the washing, and my wife does not ironing. However, no ironing of the "unmentionables" (LOL).

The paisley lace curtains in the living room and (in the graduation pic of the dining room) do not need ironing. They get washed hung outside, the re-hung on the window. Then my talented hands fix the folds. (LOL) Joan made these along with the top treatments years ago. You see when you buy quality material, (which we bought on Grand Street in New York more than 15 years ago,(this is near the jewelry district) it is worth it.
If you buy cheap, you have to keep replacing. An old saying, "Only the rich by cheap".

Then again.....Nothing but the best for a Taurus. ROFL LOL

 

[toggleswitch]

.........and we all know those folds can get nasty if not properly and frequently washed.

Did you mean the Lighting District near the Bowery?

You probably meant by the retailers of Jewelry on Canal Street, in Chinatown. Methinks the Jewelry District generally refers to the upper 40's, west side of Manhattan.

(Don't beat me, please!) LOL

 

[rayjay]

You are correct

It was many years ago. It was Hoouston Street. Does that sound familiar? Well, anyway saved a bundle on the material.
They still make this same material. The manufacturer is ADO. It is usually carried in material and decorating stores. They have loads of patterns.

EEEWWWWWW!!

We are still talking about window treatments...Are we not????

Ray,

I think the windows look great. You and Joan make a great team. My grandmother was only five feet tall so she would make the drapes and guess who would hang them (before I was old enough to help <ha>)? You got it....my grandfather (the mechanic and non-pro boxer) and he did a great job!!!

RIch, I know, I know. It is not me (LOL). Look at the previous posts.

It it is Toggles. Really. LOL

He likes talking about curtains and folds. Oh my.... That was not meant to come out that way. (LOL,ROFL)

Steve, I already talked to Joan. She will have to make you a set when you get settled.

All in fun, Steve and Rich, All in good fun.
