How toxic is bleach to our skin?

And how toxic is it to our environment? How about oxi-clean? If so, what is the best way to whiten clothes without using bleach?

Answer:
the instructions on a bottle of bleach tell you not to apply it directly to your skin, and to rinse your skin a lot if it splashes on you. Bleach IS toxic to our environment. Oxi-clean is not as toxic as bleach. Peroxide whitens clothing in the laundry.

The easiest, cheapest, most environmentally friendly way to whiten your whites is to hang them outside on a line to dry. The sun "bleaches" color from many things (bones in a desert, the paint on your car or house, your sofa sitting in front of a window, a stuffed animal in the back of a car window, etc.) - use it to your advantage and hang your whites on the clothesline!

Try this experiment: Hang a dark colored shirt on your clothesline in the summer. "Forget about it" and dont take it back inside. In a week, check on that shirt - does it have lighter colored parts that were "bleached" by the sun? In a couple weeks, that t shirt will look like you put too much bleach in your colors at the laundramat.
Umm you can use bleach, Just wash the item before you ware it again. That sould get rid of all the toxins.
Bleach is the only thing that really gets your clothes white though other techniques might help a little, it is also the best anti-bacterial agent. When using bleach don't overdo it but don't panic if you get some on your skin, I do all the time, I just rinse it of. BTW, bleach which is diluted chlorine is used in all swimming pools, in water sanitation, in hospital and in hotel laundry.
