To Bleach or Not to Bleach
A Clean Slate?
Each January stores everywhere feature huge sales on products for cleaning and organizing your home. The reason? It’s no surprise. It’s a subconscious new year ritual performed by millions of Americans. Why? There’s something about the beginning of a new year that makes us feel hopeful and determined. A fresh start. A clean slate. And we yearn to be surrounded by that feeling of freshness in our world.
A Cleaning Journey
We set out to on a devoted journey make everything in our homes clean and sparkling
again. In this process, what do think is the first product most people reach for? If you guessed bleach, you’re right. But is chlorine bleach really safe for you and your family?
Dazzling Results
There’s no question that bleach can produce amazing results when used as a whitening product. Unfortunately, there’s a bit more to be considered. Most people know that bleach should never be used on silk, woolen or synthetic fabrics such as polyester or nylon. When it comes to cleaning items made of cotton, most people freely reach for the bleach, looking forward to those fresh, dazzling white results.
Faded Memories
Unfortunately, that dazzling white can quickly fade to a pale, dingy, yellowish look. In addition, treating certain stains with bleach or stain removal products containing bleach can leave a permanent brown stain. Additionally, chlorine used on a white cotton fabric containing a fluorescent-based optical brightener will often break down the optical brightener, leading to the emergence of a not so lovely yellow or pinkish hue. That’s devastating news for your favorite garments and heirloom linens.
What’s The Answer?
Just say no to chlorine bleach. For the safest, most pristine results, trust your favorite garments and heirloom textiles to professional care. You’ll be thrilled at the results. Sparkling clean, white and freshly pressed – what could be better? Sounds like you’ve just discovered a whole new way to bring in the new year!
