;)

it seems ok as long as they're rinsed well

dude yr roommate is doing dishes, at all. just be thankful.

real talk

but yeah umm dudes google has a lot of contradictory info on the practice -- found results arguing "its all good" "a little capful" "never ever do this"

lol dude if its just clorox or w/e u shld be cool altho this seems like a p retarded thing to do if u have dish soap already

yah i dont get it. shes such a weirdo

leaving eggs out -- they were on the stovetop for like a couple weeks & she still made/ate them -- was the weirdest to me

really want to live by myself

I might wonder if any of the dish glazes would be harmed by bleach.

i wouldnt do this

also eggs can theoretically sit around for a while, a long while, unrefrigerated.

in ~france~ they dont even keep em in fridges at the supermarkets

is she wearing gloves btw?

she should really not do this imo. if anything, just use hot water + nothing else.

yah this could totally damage dishes w/ designs.

not good for skin

What was it that the mom in the Sixth Sense poured in her daughter's meals to kill her? Wasn't it bleach? Yr roommate's tryin' to kill you!

your roommate has 6th sense!! (ability to perceive paranormal phenomena!!!)

For years the fanboys on the sixth sense fanfic forum have dreamed of evidence as clear as this

Eggs arent refrigerated in supermarkets in Aus either. Its fine to store them room temp - they just dont stay fresh for as long, thats all.

did someone shit on the dishes? I dont get it. :|

Yes, that is something from the internet.

Leaving white crockery soaking in bleach is not a bad thing to do every couple of months, but I'd always run them through the dishwasher afterwards.

Went on holiday with some dirty clothes once as my washing machine had packed up. Not knowing the local term for washing powder, I bought a packet of stuff that had a picture of dirty looking clothes going into the bowl, and shiny white ones coming out. When I came to use it I thought "hmm this stuff smells pretty strong. And it is actually making my clothes lighter. Guess I bought bleach, lol".

Bleach on dishes: commercial kitchens do it all the time, tho prob more with cookware that the table service. You don't need much -- if you can smell the bleach from a step away from the sink, it's too much. Just a capful or two for a whole sink, soak ALREADY CLEAN dishes for uh 5 mins, then soak in clean hot water for 5 mins, then air dry.

I like to keep a cheap spray bottle filled with bleach-water under the kitch sink for when I prep chicken...spray the knife, (plastic) cutting board, inside of steel sink where I did the dirty work.

Esp if someone in the house has been quite sick lately, some sanitization seems like a perfectly good idea.

I can't imagine how dishes with "designs" would be harmed -- if they're food-safe, the color is all under a glaze, otherwise you couldn't eat off them, wash them, microwave them, etc. Hot water and the hot-air drying cycle in every dishwasher ever are probably 300% more damaging to dishware than 5 minutes of bleach?

what everyone should do is soak their dishes with one of those blue things u put in the toilet tank

they're actually pretty great for dog/cat bathing

so did deej die from this

no but all his designs washed off

Eating out of dented cans: are people really afraid of dented cans? I thought the ones to watch out for were BULGING ones, because the botulism built up gases inside or something.

Is she washing dishes and bed sheets in the same sink at the same time?

xp yeah dented cans just means that you get them cheap from the supermarket ime

im afraid of dented cans

the dents can make little holes where bacteria can dance on in

Aha!

Why does america not have thick bleach?

unlikely but they can expose the underlying steel which will rust and contaminate your food.

I shop at the bent-can store regularly, it's pretty easy to find the barely dented stuff and stay safe.

there's a bent-can store?

I have no idea why America does not have thick bleach.

There is nothing better for cleaning the tea stains out of mugs than a tiny bit of bleach in hot water. Some people use denture cleaner, but that is one thing I wouldn't buy unless I needed it for something else.

wtf is thick bleach

What purpose does thickened bleach serve?

getting under the rim of the toilet when cleaning.

You used to be able to get pens with bleach GEL in them, I loved that shit. Tried to buy them again later and haven't been able to find them since, maybe were discontinued??

thick bleach is also useful for cleaning surfaces as it is easy to squeeze just a tiny bit out of the bottle for stubbon stains.

u used to get m&ms with bleach in them, they were so refreshing

I'll add some corn starch to my bleach next time.

we have cleaners here with a bit of bleach in them, seems to work fine, and plus it doesn't kill you when you drink it

there's a bent-can store?

Yeah, aka the "salvage grocery." They buy big lots of staple groceries that have been slightly damaged in transit, which the manufacturer isn't willing to pay return freight for. Discard the unsaleable, sell the rest.

It's no big loss but it seems somewhat odd that in a market that works hard on differentiation by miniscule differences in product and branding that this isn't available over here.

"over here" meaning Pittsburgh?

Pittsburgh, the states in general.

the united states of pittsburgh

oh, I thought you were talking about salvage groceries, Ed.

Srsly, the stuff works. Does a heck of a job cleaning the sink, too!

My mom told me that once, in high school, she had been doing some cleaning with bleach and not wearing gloves. She said for the next few days, she kept smelling dead flesh around her all the time, and it was really unsettling but she could not determine its source. It turned out it was her hands that smelled like a corpse.

re: thick bleach

dishwasher detergent is basically this.

AW YEAH TAKE THAT ENGLAND

WE GOT A LITTLE GUY OVER HERE YOU MIGHTA HEARD A HIM HIS NAME IS MR CLEAN HE IS BALD AND WEARS AND EARRING AND LIKES TO CLEAN

I was just thinking this thread needed some Jaq!!

RE EGGS:

In the USA, the law mandates that eggs be washed prior to sale. This washes off a protective membrane and as a result, US EGGS REQUIRE REFRIGERATION. In other countries, however, there is no egg-washing law, leaving the protective membrane, making it safe to leave eggs unrefrigerated.

Big bad Dom would wipe the floor with Mr clean.

I contemplated looking that up b/c I was pretty sure there was a difference in egg processing, but I thought, "God, Laurel, shut up for once." I'm so glad someone else thought of it.

That is good to know.

i was my dishes in acid

I wash my dishes on acid.

i was my dishes in acid, says hiker

gaye hikers on acid

Washed eggs? Interesting. You still get 'em with a bit of chicken shit on, sometimes, over here.

is that where eggs come from?!

yeah hens only have one hole lol

Reminding me that 'cloaca' is one of my least favourite words...

at my kid's preschool we are required, by state licensing rules, to rinse all cups and dishes with a bleach solution. sounds insane I know, but it is required. but it's like, one tiny dropper to 1 gallon of water.

Yeah I would think very dilute bleach water is actually less toxic than the shit that goes into dishwasher machines That stuff is extremely caustic.

no way dudes i wore my cloak today

btw bleach is what they use to *sterilize* things
like when you see the barkeeps in the pubs doin the glasses in 2 or 3 baths
one is soaps one is water (rinse) one is bleachy water (sterilizem)

i think it's supposed to be one-ten part (bleaches) per million (waters)

this'll tell ya how

wait so is she also using dishsoap or just plain bleach. i am mostly trying to determine her IQ tbh

am kind of amazed at the egg membrane thing. mostly that chickens have anti-bacterial coating goo inside them. wows.

doesnt dents cause bulgings

i once cleaned my bathroom w/ undiluted bleach w/o ventilating and felt like i had emphysema for the next week.

Oh yeah straight chlorine fumes are some nasty shit. It always leaves me feeling like my sinuses have been scoured. Horrible.

At the public school I work at in Portland, OR we are required to rinse dishes in bleach water. In Austin, TX we used to do the same but but were required to STOP using bleach a few years back because they didn't want chemicals in classrooms.

don't keep eggs or ketchup in the fridge
