2. Bleach - Its's difficult to get away from the fact that Bleach is an excellent cleaning product if used carefully and for the right cleaning jobs.  Please note that any cleaning product should be tested on a small patch before being applied to a whole surface at home. 

Likewise with a regular clean, your cleaner will only use bleach if you have supplied it as a product in your home.  It is up to your discretion. 

All this aside, it is a fantastic product and has been used for good, old fashioned cleaning for decades.  It is excellent to remove mould off surfaces.  PArticuarly for removing mould off the grouting in your bathroom, if left overnight (so long as you make sure nobody will touch it!).  It is great for cleaning wooden worktops and cleaning chopping boards.  It is fantastic for brightening glass and cookware.  Brightening procelain.  Disinfecting your rubbish bin, and for sterilising garden tools! 

Just make sure you store it in a safe place and follow the recommendations on the container.  Happy cleaning!  Richard.
