Directions from Packaging

To check if a garment is bleach-safe, try this bleach-safe test: apply one drop of a test solution (1 tablespoon bleach plus 1/4 cup water) to a hidden part of the fabric. Check all colors including trim. Let stand 1 minute then blot dry. No color change means the article can be safely bleached. In case of accidental spill, immediately absorb bleach with cloth rag and rinse area thoroughly with water. Directions for laundry use: Pretreat stains and heavy soils: Stubborn stains may be soaked for 5 minutes in a solution of 1/3 cup bleach to 1 gallon of cool sudsy water. Sort laundry by color and fabric: Stubborn whites from colors, light colors from dark ones. Avoid bleaching wool, silk, mohair, leather, spandex and non-fast colors. Add bleach and detergent: This bleach may be added to the wash water before laundry is put in, or for best results, dilute with a quart of water and add to wash water 5 or 6 minutes after the wash cycle has began. Use the recommended amount of this bleach as shown. For very large loads, add slightly more bleach. Regular top loading automatic: 1 - 1/2 cups. Large top loading automatic: 2 cups. Front loading automatic: 3/4 cup. Hand laundry (2 gallons sudsy water): 1/3 cup. Directions for household use: Toilet bowls: Flush toilets. Pour 1 cup of this bleach into bowl. Brush. Let stand 10 minutes. Flush. Bathtubs and showers: Flush drains. Clean with a solution of 1-1/2 cups of bleach per gallon of warm sudsy water. Let stand 5 minutes. Rinse. Kitchen sinks: Cover stains with 2/3 gallon of water add 3/4 cup of bleach. Let stand 5 minutes. Rinse. Avoid prolonged contact with stainless steel. Rinse thoroughly after use. Floors, vinyl, tile, woodwork & appliances: Clean with a solution of 1 cup of bleach per gallon of sudsy water. Let stand 5 minutes. Rinse.

Understanding scores

EWG provides information on cleaning product ingredients from the published scientific literature, to supplement incomplete data available from companies and the government. The ratings indicate the relative level of concern posed by exposure to the ingredients in this product - not the product itself - compared to other product formulations. The ratings reflect potential health hazards but do not account for the level of exposure or individual susceptibility, factors which determine actual health risks, if any.

HOW WE DETERMINE SCORES

Hazard score

The Healthy Cleaning ingredient hazard score, from A to F, reflects known and suspected hazards linked to the ingredients. The EWG VERIFIED® mark means a product meets EWG’s strictest criteria for transparency and health.
