Scented Clorox contains less than half the bleach of regular Clorox, reports Mouseprint.

Clorox offers scented disinfectants like Citrus Blend, Fresh Meadow, and Mountain Fresh, but these only contain 2.75% sodium hypochlorite. Old-skool Clorox contains 6%.

Don’t bother trying to find this out from the bottle. Clorox conveniently omits the ingredients label from the scented varieties.

Says Mouseprint, …if your whites smell better but look a little more dingy these days, now you may know why.” — BEN POPKEN
