I discovered something wonderful today--
Chlorox Anywhere Hard Surface daily sanitizing spray. I bought my first bottle a year ago, but was afraid to use it, because I was afraid of chlorine bleach. It's corrosive. If swallowed, it can be fatal. But today I mustered up the strength to try it based on something that's written on the label.
Now I know that most of the United States probably cleans with bleach, but I personally know someone who actually burned her eyes with the vapors of bleach when she was cleaning a stain out of a shirt. She didn't go blind, but had to use drops for a while. And, my
Baba personally knows someone who put bleach in her toilet, forgot about it, and then used the toilet only to be burned and taken to the hospital. (Always flush before using the toilets in other people's homes and in public restrooms.)
My
Baba uses bleach for everything. She cleans her entire kitchen with it, her bathtub, even her sidewalks, and I've never died after eating in her kitchen, or using her bathroom, or walking up to her house. But still. As much as I wanted to use bleach for cleaning purposes because it disinfects and kills all possible germs, I was terrified of getting it on my hands, or in my eyes, or in my mouth. Thus, I haven't been able to use it. Until now.
Chlorox Anywhere Hard Surface daily sanitizing spray actually says on it's label that it can be used on children's toys, and that there is no need to rinse. Since children put their toys in their mouths, this means it is safe enough for me to use it on my kitchen
counter tops, which I don't put in my mouth, but do touch, and then touch food, or utensils, or plates, which do go in my mouth. I am happy.
So I used it today and it left behind the
faintest smell of it's full-strength self, proving to me that I disinfected.
