Weed control
Why can I apply “White”? Everyone knows the problem of weeds in the country. They grow on paths between stones or tiles, creating a scruffy impression. Pouring them with undiluted bleach will not only save you from weeds, but also prevent the emergence of new ones.
Important! Be careful when doing this. “White” kills the vegetation completely. Do not harm healthy crops.

Garden Path Processing
A new path in the country, paved with stone or tile, looks just fine. However, over time, the stones are overgrown with moss, look weathered and dull. A solution of chlorine bleach (1 cup of product in 3 l of water) will help restore an attractive look.
Spray the solution from the spray bottle onto the track, hold for a few minutes, and then rinse the stones or tile from the hose. Be careful not to damage the crop plants along the path.
Insect control
If you store water for irrigation in an open container, mosquitoes will most likely annoy you. Add some bleach to the water and it will destroy the mosquito larvae that develop in stagnant water. One tablespoon is enough for a volume of water of 150 liters.
Important! Bleach must not be added to a natural body of water.

Unusual use of “White” - jeans with a “boiled” effect
Denim trousers with a worn effect have not lost their relevance to this day. A real branded “varenka” is not cheap, therefore, if there is no way to purchase finished products, you have to embark on tricks. Here are the options for the non-standard use of “White” for making “boiled” jeans at home:
- Pour detergent into the washer compartment (powder + “White”). Moreover, the concentration of bleach is three to five times greater than usual. Wash the product. After that, sew the belt and the lower part of the legs manually. Pour a little soda with bleach into the washer, load wine corks into the drum to the trousers: the more the better. Wash the product again, dry, and can be worn.
- Prepare the solution: in a 10-liter bucket, 1 cup of water. Bring the mixture to a boil, only then lower the pants into it. To get the characteristic “stars”, pinch the fabric and tighten with a pharmaceutical rubber band. For vertical strips, twist the product, as for squeezing. Boiling time - from 15-20 minutes to 1.5 hours. It all depends on what kind of result you want to achieve.
- A quick but effective way: sprinkle your pants with chlorine water. To eliminate the reddish tint that the fabric takes in places where the solution gets, soak the item for 1.5-2 hours in a blue solution. After that, squeeze and dry the jeans. The effect is wonderful.
