Introduction
We tested which
method of bleaching is the best overall. We tested using Clorox brand bleach in gel, liquid, spray, and bathroom cleaner form on several white t-shirts. We used Clorox brand products to be sure that the bleach in each product was consistent. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. We will compare specific aspects of all forms of bleaching and rate them on a scale of 1-5. The bleach that scores the highest in the most categories will prove to be most practical solution to stain removal. Slide3
