Mind-Blowing Fact
Clean em' up.
Bleach is often used as a way in order to remove stains from clothes. This is because it reacts with the colored compound and breaks them down. In bleach the active ingredient, sodium hypochlorite, denatures protein in micro-organisms and can thus also be considered effective in killing bacteria, fungus and viruses.
