OMO has a range of products to suit every need and they are dedicated to creating laundry bleach that offers unbeatable stain removal properties. In this blog we will take you through the best way to use bleach for clothes and why we love the OMO range so much.
At Cleanipedia, we want you to get the most out of your laundry experience and that’s why we’ve put together this guide on how to choose the right type of bleach for your needs.
What Are The Different Types of Laundry bleach?
There are two main types of bleach for clothes that can be used to whiten and brighten your laundry. Let’s understand what they are and what differentiates them from each other.
- ✦
Chlorine-based bleach – contains an oxidising agent like chlorine or sodium hypochlorite
- ✦
Oxygen-based bleach – contains an oxidising agent as well but in the form of oxygen or sodium percarbonate.
Both chlorine-based and oxygen-based bleaches are available in South Africa in a variety of forms. We love the range of bleaches from OMO, which are chlorine-based bleaches. They are a versatile cleaning agent to have in the home because they can be used for both laundry and other household cleaning functions.
Importance of Using The Right Type Of Laundry Bleach
The right laundry bleach will be able to offer you a multitude of functions from whitening those dull, yellowing white clothing to removing stains from your favourite red t-shirt. No matter what type of bleach you choose, be it a chlorine bleach or an oxygen bleach, it should be able to offer you the benefit of being about to whiten and brighten a range of different coloured clothing as well as clothing types.
When it comes to the OMO range of bleach for coloured clothes and whites, we absolutely love the versatility that the range offers.

Proper Use and Safety Precautions
Bleach contains chlorine or sodium hypochlorite which, after all, is a chemical compound. As with any kind of chemical, you need to practice care and caution when working with it. Here are our top tips for using bleach safely.
- ✦
Never mix any other kind of chemical with bleach.
- ✦
Always wear gloves when working with chlorine bleach, especially if it is not diluted. If you are very sensitive to smells and chemicals, consider wearing other personal protective equipment like eye masks, goggles, and a face mask too.
- ✦
Make sure you’ve opened all the windows and doors that you can in the area you are working with the bleach to create well-ventilated space.
- ✦
Always pour the bleach into water, and not the other way around.
