Bleach effectively kills poop germs. While soap and water wash germs away, bleach disinfects by eliminating the bacteria.
Cleaning vs. Disinfecting
It's important to understand the difference between cleaning and disinfecting:
- Cleaning: Removes visible dirt and grime. Soap and water are excellent for this.
- Disinfecting: Kills germs, making surfaces safer. Bleach is a disinfectant.

Important Considerations:
- Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for dilution and application.
- Ensure proper ventilation when using bleach.
- Keep bleach out of reach of children.
