Hi! I'm Tiffany. When I'm not chasing my son around for diaper changes, convincing my daughter not to wear goggles to bed, or trying to get unidentified stains out of my kids' clothes, I work in the marketing department at Clorox.

The 7 Day Clorox® Bleach Challenge
Other blogs document much more extreme challenges like “I will eat only Japanese mollusks every day for a year” or impossible feats like “I will not feed my child boxed Mac ‘n’ cheese for 30 days,” I’m going to keep it simple for now.
I’ve decided to challenge myself to a week of Clorox® Liquid Bleach use. 7 full days.
While working at Clorox, I’ve come across a slew of interesting and surprising uses for bleach, but I haven’t necessarily tried everything I’ve heard about. So in the spirit of getting ready for the fall season and taking my home cleaning to the next level, I’m busting out the bleach in full force for the next 7 days.
For those of you who want to play along, here are the official challenge rules:
1) I must use Clorox® Liquid Bleach (as directed) every day, for 7 days.
2) I must use bleach for a different use each day (no repeats!).
And then, just to make things interesting …
Using bleach in a load of white laundry doesn’t count!
Think it sounds easy? Care to join me on my 7-Day Clorox® Liquid Bleach Challenge? Or about to see if I fall flat on my face? Then follow my blog for the next week, and let’s see what happens!
To sweeten the deal for playing along, if you leave a comment or share a bleach tip during the challenge, you may have a chance to win a $100 Visa gift card. We will randomly select one commenter to win so the more you comment, the more chances you have to take home the prize!
No Purchase Necessary. Open to legal residents of the 50 United States & DC who are at least 18 years of age at the time of entry. Void where prohibited. http://www.clorox.com/legal/promotions/ for full rules. Contest starts 10/20/11 & ends 11/2/11.

Day 7 : Can’t believe all the things you can do with bleach, besides washing! Today I sanitized and disinfected toys. I took toys from the kid’s toy box and play room that were plastic (not battery operated), and let them soak in hot water and 1 cup of Clorox bleach in the sink for about an hour. The rest of the toys I couldn’t soak, I used the spray bottle where it has 1/2 cup of Clorox bleach and rest water and would spray the paper towel and wipe them by hand.

Day 6 - Cleaned patio furniture today, took a spray bottle (mixed together 1/2 cup of Clorox Bleach, rest water) and sprayed and wiped down patio furniture.

Today I wiped down the patio furniture using a diluted clorox water mixture. I waited for the sun to dry the furniture and deck rails and then I laid my laundry out on it to dry, pointless to lay clean clothes on dirty furniture and railing.

Today I had to clean my dirtied pants...and in doing the hand scrubbing--I splashed nasty water all over the bathroom. I only needed a spot cleaning--but I used a bowl of water with a bit of Clorox in and just wiped things clean-much easier than getting out a mop and bucket for spot cleaning.

Day 5 - Cleaned counters and outside of appliances. I wore gloves and mixed together 1/2 cup of Clorox bleach and water in a spray bottle and scrubbed, disinfected, and sanitized the counters in my kitchen and outside of my appliances.

Day 5 of the challenge and all the small toys are disinfected. The litte toys are hard to wipe so I throw them in a bucket fiiled with hot water mixed with clorox, and the job is done. At the end of the chalenge the hole house is looking much better and more is done:)

Today I worked in a warehouse, so my clothes got filthy but more importantly my hands were gross. I know maybe this isn't the best use for it, but I used a tiny bit in my dishwater to clean around my cuticles as i wash the dishes to try and get the ink gone. My hands and dishes are clean again!!

Day 4 : Mopped the kitchen floor, first I mixed in mop bucket : hot water, a few drips of dish soap, and 1/2 cup of Clorox Bleach. Mopped with standard kitchen mop, and let air dry. Looked very shiny when I finished!
