How to Use Bleach in Laundry the Right Way

How to Use Bleach Without a Dispenser

If your high-efficiency washer doesn’t have a bleach dispenser, you can add powdered chlorine bleach directly to the washer along with your clothes. For non-chlorine bleach, use the detergent compartment—liquid detergent with liquid bleach, or powdered detergent with powdered bleach. You can also use bleach pods, adding them to the washer with the laundry before starting the load.

Best Safety Practices for Using Bleach

While bleach is great for removing stains and sanitizing laundry, it’s crucial to use it safely. Never mix bleach with any other cleaning products, especially ammonia-based ones, as this can create harmful gases.

Be cautious when using chlorine bleach on certain fabrics, as it can damage wool, silk, mohair, and spandex. Always check the care label on your clothes to ensure that bleach is safe to use. For delicate or mixed-material items, use a color-safe bleach instead of chlorine bleach.
