Question

Yes - the same bleach used on clothes.

Answer 1

if it is the same bleach that we use with our clothes""""it must be wrong,,that wll make their hair unhealthy and it will burn it slowly

Answer 2

There is chlroine in bleach, it's just a smaller percentage and less effective.  Check the bleach label and it will tell you what percentage of the bottle is in there.

Answer 3

Regular unscented 6% clorox bleach is perfectly fine to use as your chlorine source. It contains the same active ingredient- sodium hypochlorite- as chlorinating liquid. The only difference is chlorinating liquid is 12% while bleach is 6%. While it does take more bleach to do the same it is often more economical to use bleach (based on strength/volume).

Answer 4

Bleach IS chlorine.
