Bleach

Dear Shokufeh,

Remember that time when you were in Wal-Mart and you said to yourself, "Shokufeh, stop being such a snob. It's just bleach. You don't need to buy name-brand bleach. The only difference between Clorox and the generic bleach is the 80 cents you'll save?"

You were wrong. The difference is also in the bottle. Not so much the contents, but the design of the vessel itself. You never had such drippage problems with Clorox. Next time, spring for the extra 80 cents. Think of it as an investment in domestic bliss. One without bleach bottles that have to be carefully wiped after each use.

Love,
Yourself

Is anyone else as scared of bleach as I am?

Yes! I have been permanently scarred after a childhood full of white drips all over my clothes. My father is a) way too fond of bleach and b) not really careful when using it.

I don't know that I'm exactly scared of it, but I definitely don't use it frivolously. I don my special clothes - old and light.

I should be scared enough to stay away from it since I have many bleach-speckled clothing. However, I can't resist the stuff. My first purchase upon my return was bleach - I needed really clean after 6 weeks accumulation of dust.
About Clorox vs generic -I have found that some sediment or foreign matter is found in the generic. I'll stop here - I'm a Clorox person for many reasons.
