H.E. Bleach

[Warborg]

Does anyone know if this stuff behaves the same as normal Bleach on fishtanks & stuff?

For those that may not know what 'he' is--- 'High Efficiency' is made for new washing machines. It suppose to act differently in the newer machines.

I used it when I had a HE washer and it is thicker, similar to runny jelly. It also has more ingredients in it than regular plain bleach and seems to foam a bit more. I would stick to regular plain bleach for the fish room, even the new concentrated Clorox bleach seems to be a bit foamy so I just buy cheap bleach for my fish room needs.

 

[Warborg]

ugh, I wasn't seeing any plain. For some reason the market has changed around here. Walmart was more then happy to replace it with this stuff. Time to go to another store.

 

[deeda]

It is happening everywhere, I had to go to a couple different stores to find the 'old' stuff.

 

[Warborg]

Not that I don't appreciate the correction in the title but I did it that way to match the way it is shown on the products

My washer and dryer are 15-20 years old.
I feel your pain.

Last time I bought regular bleach it was at the dollar store believe it or not.

:edit: late 80's- early 90's are more like 20-25 years ago. Oops

Cetyl Betaine

Cetyl betaine is a surfactant used in cleaning and laundry products. Beyond its general ability to clean soils, is used to thicken cleaning formulas and stabilize foam.

just me, but I keep surfactants away from my fish stuff.

Agreed, surfactants can kill fish. Surfactant = soap.

 

[Warborg]

I have toilets that need cleaning so at least it won't go to waste.

I have used it with no problem. I wouldn't go out of my way to get it, but it's what the wife bought.
