I bleach my dish towels, tablecloths, and cleaning rags because my
"safe" water heater doesn't get the water much above incubation
temperature.

Nice save! I like the idea of a few random seashells, too.

You might put that bleach in a safe place, too. With all the new
fabrics that say "no chlorine bleach" you probably rarely use it, but
the results of a splash are disastrous! I used to use it in my bathtub
and kitchen sink, but then I had the tub resurfaced and replaced the
kitchen sink. Hooray!

Thanks. The same set of designs that had the sandcastle
(which I heavily edited), had two seashells and a crab.
Maybe the crab, stalking the sandcastle... ;-)

Indeed. I don't even remember what I was using it for. I
keep Clorox Clean Up in the kitchen to clean cutting boards,
but it also can be nasty on fabric.

I have a new SS sink, but the cutting boards still get a
good dose of bleach after cutting meat of any kind.

That came out really nice!!!! Well, of course it did, you did it. ;)

This is totally off track, but I was looking at towels at W-M the other day.
They have a line of towels now that come on all kinds of colors, very
vibrant colors too. They are guaranteed not to fade--even if you wash them
in chlorine bleach! I was tempted to get a washcloth and test it. heh heh
Wonder what has been done to the towels/dyes to make it resistant...

Kay!!!!!! Paging Kay!!!! Here's one for you to figure out!!! :)

Washing in several gallons with just 1/2 cup of chlorine
bleach is not quite the same as splashing full-strength
bleach on the front of a favorite shirt. But I'd also be
interested in what new dye technology allows a "guarantee
not to fade".
