Chlorine bleach is used in pools to kill the algae and bacteria that would otherwise taint the pool water. Since it's clearly safe to swim in a pool, it should be safe to soak in chlorinated bath water.

The key is not to use too much bleach. If you make it too strong, it may affect your hair color or sting your eyes, just like overchlorinated pool water.

I have found that a couple capfulls to a full tub doesn't burn or sting, doesn't appear to affect the color of my hair or my washcloths, yet the bathwater still has the unmistakable odor of bleach. The amount you can use depends on the size of your tub and the sensitivity of your skin.

It doesn't take much bleach to be effective; Clorox Anywhere Hard Surface sanitizing spray is only 0.0095% sodium hypochlorite, yet it claims to kill 99.9% of bacteria. Typical household laundry bleach is more than 600 times stronger.

Keep in mind that the bleach is very much diluted usually about 1/2 to a full cup in an entire bath tub.

How is Epsom salt on cuts or soars?

I use them all the time. I have Fibromyalgia so chronic pain is something I have to live with. I use the Hydrogen Peroxide and Epsom salts to get rid of my pain. Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) is basically water with an extra molecule of oxygen. When you take a 'Hot bath' your pores are open the Hydrogen Peroxide goes straight to the muscle. Oxygen makes the muscle relax. Epsom salts are high in minerals. calcium is a known pain reliever for muscles. Try it.. it doesn't hurt at all. I take them weekly. I've never had it sting in any way but. Epsom salt is used often in your bath salts that you buy from any store. all it is is mineral salts. If bath salts don't sting then Epsom salt won't sting. Unless you have a pretty badly infected cut. and then the sting is really beneficial. it means it's working in killing the infection.. I can't imagine a bath of hydrogen peroxide and Epsom salt being at ALL a good thing. If you have any cuts or sores, it will burn like mad. I just don't see the benefit to bathing in this mix. Please think twice.

Frost your windows for Christmas If you are dreaming of a white Christmas, but the weather won't cooperate, at least you can make your windows look frosty. Mix Epsom salt with stale beer until the salt stops dissolving. Apply the mixture to your windows with a sponge -- for a realistic look, sweep the sponge in an arc at the bottom corners. When the mixture dries, the windows will look frosted.


Does rock salt melt ice faster than epsom salt?

Yes, salt really does melt ice, but it can refreeze if the temperature is low enough. The idea is to create a salt-water mix that has a much lower freezing point. Generally, rock salt may be used, occasionally with other binders such as sand. An alternative to using granular salt is to spray on a solution of brine, sometimes mixed with other minerals or chemicals (usually not ordinary antifreeze because it is ecologically toxic).
