As a nice complement to misgivings about putting laundry bleach (!!) in a swimming pool...
I was at the supermarket earlier, buying some bleach, for laundry, of all things. Up above the bleach shelves I noticed a Clorox product I haven't noticed before - dry granular laundry bleach. Curious, I picked it up to see what it said about ingredients... "contains sodium dichloroisocyanurate". I didn't write down the chemical name, but that's my best recollection.
So, someone apparently is using dry pool shock (dichlor) on his/her laundry as we speak. Won't that cause stains, fading, etc.? It can't be right!!
Incidentally, the stuff was $4.99 for 1.5 pounds, which would be a good price for pool dichlor. However, I couldn't find anything about other ingredients that might be in the product. Otherwise I'd be tempted by the price (I like to have a little dichlor on hand for pre-vacation use). I wonder if it is exactly the same as the pool product, just with different packaging and pricing...
