Bleach - where to buy - Munich

I have been all over town looking for bleach...so my white garments can be whiter. But i only found "light" bleach, that makes absolutely no difference?! (i accidentally left a red item in my "whites", Im trying to save my wardrobe here...) Im desperate for REAL bleach...WHERE CAN I BUY IT???

from what i've heard, bleach is illegal here. it would be nice to have some though, since the hard water makes my whites all dingy.

Try Müller at HBF or a big Tengelmanns but for bleaching clothes I hear from pervy skinhead friends that German bleach is less strong than in the UK, even if the same Domestos brand. Germany doesn't do bleach for 50 cents a litre like the UK, maybe they are less dirty?

Try [size=7]DanKlorix. Available in most any Tengelmann, Rossmann, etc. Has worked for me; you just might need to use a little more than you would with bleach.

There is also a Liquid Bleach for whitening Net curtains..
It easy to spot as it has a picture if net curtains on it...

they have this powder bleach stuff here... maybe its not as good as int he states (i wouldnt know, mommy always washed my clothes ) but it doesnt seem to be too bad.

Bleach (hypochlorite) is highly carcinogenic and toxic.

Best not to drink it so

unless ur wearin lederhosen...
hehe fuckers

I just bought something that should help. I got it at Tschibo for 5€ - it's an anti-limescale ball and it's supposed to "ruduces limescale build-up in washing machines and dishwashers" and give you "shiny dishes or perfectly clean washing". "The ball generates a strong magnetic field in its center. When water flows through this, limescale(kalk) particles are transformed into disc-like crystals which are less able to stick to surfaces such as textiles, dishes, heating elements, etc"

So, I'm going to to try it out.

Another suggestion - found at DM - it's a whitening additive - it comes in a small box - one time use. My boyfriend uses it sometimes for our all-white loads and it works. I'm sorry I don't know what it's called.

Everywhere?

> from what i've heard, bleach is illegal here.

Nope.

> it would be nice to have some though, since the hard water makes my whites all dingy.

Bleach won't work against hard water.

> anti-limescale ball and it's supposed to "ruduces limescale build-up in washing
> machines and dishwashers"

Sounds like snake oil to me since lime isn't affected at all by magnetic fields

@ Toronto- Germans seem to really dislike bleach- its right up there with those criminal fabric softner sheets- pure EVIL (down with Bounce- at least for a few more years)- Its around in a weaker form but they ask you not to use it in the laundromats here- please- I am still trying to remember to "add the fabric softener" -I think the last time I saw a commerical for that in the USA was in the late 70s-

@yomama: is there some secret code name for bleach here then? I couldn't find the literal translation (Bleichmittel) on any of the bottles in the stores I've looked (too numerous to mention...)

Look for the bottle design, it's usually a sturdy plastic dark blue.

"Hygene Mittel" I think is one name used.

Domestos Klorix etc are the names to look out for but NOT the "domestos" brand toilet cleaner that comes in a taller whle plastic bottle (750ml or so) that is just for loo cleaning. Bleach will generally be in a 2 L bottle.

Hiya
some also have the French word "Javel" on them which also means bleach. DM at Stacchus S-Bahn/Münchner Freiheit have Domestos and gtho is right, this one is the one you'll want:

For a more ecological alternative you could try

Adding Natron (you'll find it in the baking section of the supermarket) can help with greying washing, alternatively use Ace soft bleach.
For colours that have run, Hoffmann make a specialist product though you might have fixed the stain through washing.
