This chapter explores the scientific process of how bleach lightens and removes stains like coffee stains by disrupting the connectivity of colored molecules. It shares a personal anecdote about cleaning a coffee mug and delves into using bleach for brightening clothes and effectively removing stains. The discussion also debunks myths about bleach, emphasizes its safety when used correctly, and explores its environmental impact and effectiveness in disinfecting surfaces.
It lives under your sink and may have saved your life but… WHAT THE FUNK IS BLEACH? Hot off of a beaker-laden lab tour, Alie chats with Dr. Evan Rumberger, a bleach scientist, about his work, his history, what bleach IS, what it turns into, and how to appreciate this household staple. Also: what exactly is in swimming pools and how to tie-dye shirts when you’re goth. This was part of a partnership with Clorox, but Alie thought the chemistry was cool enough to share with Ologites.
