Uncoloured bleach

[Adam B]

Apologies for the dullness of the topic but is it possible to buy clear household bleach, ie not one with some health and safety yellow etc tint to it?

Just want to remove some tiny marks from a white piece of clothing (wshing and oxiwash has not worked). Quick spot of bleach and rinse always used to do the trick but tints stain the clothing which kind of defeats the point.

thanks

Tesco Value Thin Bleach. It has a very, very subtle hint of yellow, though.

maybe try hydrogen peroxide (the stuff they use in hair stuff). Thats a clear liquid

Professor Simpo wonders how bleach can be anything but clear... if it's coloured it can't be very good bleach!

That's the principal ingredient in Ace "Bleach" I think. Be careful not to use without gloves though as it'll also bleach your hands.

The OP could also try laundry ammonia. I think Boots sell it.

Bleach is a solution of sodium hypochlorite. Even laboratory grade sodium hypochlorite solution is pale yellow/green - see MSDS sheet. It only looks colourless when it is diluted.
