Product Information

Bleaching powder (formerly known as "chlorinated lime"), usually a mixture of calcium hypochlorite ( Ca(ClO) Dissolved in water, it yields a solution of the two products, that combines the degreasing action of the carbonate with the bleaching action of the peroxide. Step 2: Spray the undiluted bleach directly onto the location of weeds that you want to get rid of. The mechanism of bleach against weeds is that it destroys most plants, weeds, and insects. It is essential to note that bleach is not designed for use as a herbicide, but it can still be used for that purpose.

After bleach has been poured on an area, the soil pH becomes very high, and nothing will grow there for quite some time (often several months). So, while bleach will be effective against common weeds, the collateral damage really isn’t worth the risk.

Bleach can effectively kill existing weeds and prevent their regrowth, often with just one application. When bleach is applied to the grass, a couple of things happen. The soil absorbs the chlorine part of sodium hypochlorite into the roots. From the roots, it enters the rest of the grass blades and produces chemical burns to it.

Vinegar and salt are sustainable options for keeping your garden clean and pest-free. Alternatively, commercial herbicides are a great choice if you want to deal with various weed types effectively.

In a neat form, it will kill plants, but even watered down, it can cause irreversible damage to plants, shrubs, and trees. Oxygenated bleach, on the other hand, isn’t caustic and doesn’t harm plants. Colours of natural organic materials typically arise from organic pigments, such as beta carotene. Chemical bleaches work in one of two ways:
