I don’t see it explained anywhere.
You use bleach for the toilet which is in what form? Liquid?!
So why can’t liquid detergents contain it?Re: Why can’t liquids/tablets and gels contain bleach?
Liquid detergents have a greater dispersal rate and are formulated for use in much lower temperatures than their powder equivalent.
Re: Why can’t liquids/tablets and gels contain bleach?
And in bottles of liquid detergent the bleach would separate and sink to the bottom. Now even if you put ‘shake the bottle first’ on the side, could you trust the great British public to actually read the label in the first place. :rolls:

I have been told that they actually can’t contain bleach though.

But you don’t have to shake bottles of bleach?
I don’t understand.Re: Why can’t liquids/tablets and gels contain bleach?
DOH, because there is only bleach in the bloody bottle. :rolls:

Bleach is heavy.
In the same way that oil floats on water, bleach sinks.
In a bottle of bleach, that doesn’t matter. Bleach in another liquid, it does.
So far as I know it is incompatible with the dissolvable coatings used on tabs so, can’t be used there either.

Yeah i guess that makes sense about the coatings because it would probably dissolve them before they could even be used.
But i would have thought in the bottles of liquids or gels that they could just tell the consumer to give it a good shake before pouring it out, a bit like a vinaigrette.

Been tried, failed.
As Jim said, people generally don’t read instructions.

Alright but assume they did do it, in this case could liquids become just as viable as powders in terms of quality and mould prevention?
