I bought a 1/2 gallon of this stuff, and that's enough. I've used the brand for decades, but this new stuff is a gooey looking clotted mess. Actually, it looks like snot. Really, I felt like I was dumping a cup of snot into the washing machine, and have been somewhat uncomfortable wearing the clothes that came out, even though they did seem clean enough. Nasty lookin stuff.
Ah Rog, perception is all. I have not even seen the gel, but would be loath to buy any product that looks like snot!
But that's just it, Phoenix. You don't know till you get it home and go to use it. Those bottles are not opaque without reason.
Well, I just hope the google "Clorox Liquid Snot" before they get too committed to this turkey. Uh, it's supposed to be splashless, which is good, but still. . . .
I LIKE splashless. I have a number of shirts that bear the marks of the non-splashless Clorox.
Roger, is it possible that you got a bottle that went bad?
Sure is, JL. It's also possible the person filling it had a really bad cold that day.
Really, I don't think Clorox goes bad. I mean, what's going to get to it? Bacteria?
Oh, excellent, Phoenix. You know, the copper pit in Butte, MT is filled with water toxic beyond belief, and has the same acidity as bottled vinegar. It also has bacteria, and yes, they are studying it.
I've never used Clorox in my wash.
That stuff is nasty smelling and too acidic for me.
Yeah, and now it doesn't just smell nasty. It looks that way, too.
Just toss it, roger, but don't put it down the drain, your pipes could
get damaged.
Jane- I only use Clorox when I wash my towels. Otherwise I use either just detergent in my clothes, or occasionally, a powdered non-chlorine bleach.
Why do you use clorox for the towels, Phoenix?

Sure it does. That's why the bottles aren't clear. And who know's the half-life of the snotifyer.
Snotifyer, huh? I wondered how they did that. I guess there's no going back to the days when they made it smell like lemonade.
I rarely see the need to bleach anything but mold (aka, mould) in northern coastal California. With various wretched spots on my already non-costly clothes, given my thrift shoppe buying habits - and before you roll eyes, that's where I got my Armani and Lanvin and St. Laurent, but mostly zero named stuff - I'll give oxy-clean a chance, and that has worked great, the rare times I've tried it. Kara is the one that clued me in on that somewhere in the nethers of a2k.
