About this deal
There are a number of beneficial alternative cleaners and detergents that don’t carry the same dangers of bleach, including lemon essential oil, tea tree essential oil, hydrogen peroxide, borax and distilled vinegar. In fact, it’s the start of a new business model which will see Lysoform market sanitation services alongside selling cleaning products. In the 18th century, four scientists made discoveries related to chlorine that set off the creation of chlorine bleach as we understand it today.
From public awareness campaigns, to launching new antibacterial ranges, to helping the most vulnerable, our brands have shown the true power when we all come together.Carl Wilhelm Scheele of Sweden discovered chlorine in 1774 (although the word “chlorine” wasn’t used to describe it until 1810).
Still, some of the dangers of bleach are not well-known, and people continue to mix products and expose themselves and their families to dangerous chemicals, all in the name of cleanliness. If it helps to put it in perspective, the leading brand of household bleach is rated “F,” which is just as bad as it was in school. Adding bleach to other cleaners like hydrogen peroxide, oven cleaners and some pesticides can result in noxious fumes like chlorine gas or chloramine gases.
