A Comparative Study on the Cost Effectiveness and Whiteness Effect of Homemade Bleach Mixture Vs. Industrial Bleach

Abstract

Chlorine is used in the manufacture of a wide range of consumer products, about two-Thirds of them organic chemicals such as polyvinyl chloride, and many intermediates for production of plastics and other end products which do not contain the element. As a common disinfectant, elemental chlorine and chlorine-generating compounds are used more directly in swimming pools to keep them clean and sanitary. it was reported by the World Health Organization that Bleach is one of the leading substances for accidental poisoning amongst children. Thus, in this work, the authors conducted comparative study whether this homemade alternative for bleach will turn out to be as effective as it's Industrial Chlorine-Based. The researchers are also looking to compare both mixtures in terms of Costs, as well as Health & Safety risk. In this study, the researchers focused only on the quantitative method of research involving numerical data analyzed using statistical tests. Key results showed that the researchers determined that the homemade mixture of Hydrogen peroxide bleach was more cost effective while being almost as effective as the Industrial bleach.
