In effect, bleach solution is a whitening and disinfecting agent compose of water, sodium hypochlorite, sodium chloride, and soda, in a nonuniform manner. Solutions are marketed in two forms: concentrated bleach solution and diluted bleach solution in bottles. Poisoning from this product often occurs accidentally and particularly among children less than 5 years of age. Nonetheless, this poisoning may occur in adults, especially in the event the product is removed from its package or in a professional setting. 4, record 3, English, - Javel%20water

Commonly the most dangerous chemical found in a household, bleach is an inorganic aqueous solution of 5.25% sodium hypochlorite. Bleach is a clear to yellowish liquid with a distinct chlorine like odor. Often mistakenly referred to as "chlorine bleach" because of its strong smell, bleach does not release a considerable amount of chlorine gas during its normal mode of action. 11, record 3, English, - Javel%20water

Javel water takes its name from the ancient village of Javel, now just one of Paris’ many neighbourhoods. In 1777, Count d’Artois founded the "Manufacture pour les Acides et Sels minéraux" in Javel, where the chemist Claude-Louis Berthollet worked. While searching for a method that would ease the work of washerwomen who had to whiten clothes by exposing them to sunlight, Berthollet came across a water solution that bleached cloth artificially, and he called it "eau de Javel.

En 1820, le pharmacien Antoine Germain Labarraque étudie les qualités désinfectantes des dérivés chlorés et des hypochlorites de potassium et de sodium. Il met au point une solution de chlorure et d'hypochlorite de sodium qu'il appelle «liqueur de Labarraque». En 1900 on appelait eau de Javel l'hypochlorite de potassium, et eau de Labbaraque, l'hypochlorite de sodium. Plus tard, le procédé de fabrication a remplacé le potassium par le sodium, sans changement de nom. 3, record 3, French, - eau%20de%20Javel

A few parts of the house deserve particular attention... around doors and windows... where the wood-frame wall meets the masonry... around doors into unheated attic... There is an easy way to tell whether or not any of the above areas need work.... make yourself a draft gauge. All you need is a metal clothes hanger, a plastic sandwich bag(or a piece of light tissue paper), a pair of scissors and two clothes pins. Cut the sandwich bag down each side and wrap one end over the cross-bar of the clothes hanger. Use the clothes pins to fasten the bag to the bar. Check for drafts, on a cold day, in all suspected areas. Hold the gauge steady by the handle of the hanger with the plastic bag close to the suspected areas. If any breeze is coming in, the movement of the plastic will show you where. 1, record 16, English, - draft%20gauge
