Bleach Problems
I haven't been living on my own for long.
I decided to clean my bathtub with something other than soap, so I took the (Clorox) bleach my mom gave me and poured it in the tub and started scrubbing. It was clear/bluish.
But then I noticed it said to always dilute it and I used way more than it said to. I looked more carefully at the directions after the smell was too much.
Will it hurt the drains? Also, I think I got some on me, but I washed it off right away. What happens if you don't dilute? And will effects on skin show up right away?

Maybe give some free advice about: Cleaning?
If you feel the need to use bleach at home in the future, dilute but still wear rubber gloves to protect your hands and ventilate the homes. The fumes are not good to breath in.
It won't hurt your drains. Washing it off right away was good. If you ever get a splash on clothing, most fabrics I have experienced will experience a distortion of color or total loss of color, a white spot...so best to wear your grubby clothes you dont mind accidental bleach or paint spots on.
There are non toxic alternatives to use as cleaning products at home and way less expensive. Also non toxic and safer for a house hold of little kids.
Vinegar, lemon juice and baking soda. Go on line and read about the amounts to use.
Lastly, only in prolonged repeated exposure to bleach will there be problems as scientists have found for tumor or cancer...probably such as a career cleaning houses daily for other people.
