Chlorine Bleach (Chlore)

Chlorine bleach, known in Lebanon as chlore, is a household cleaning liquid based on sodium hypochlorite. It is commonly diluted with water to clean and disinfect floors, bathrooms, sinks and kitchen surfaces, and a small amount is often added to the wash to whiten white cottons and linens. It is usually handled with gloves, used in a well-ventilated space and never mixed with ammonia, vinegar or other cleaning products. You can find chlorine bleach in the home care section at Dekenet Al Nes in Baaqline, in the Chouf. It is sold by weight, as Dekenet Al Nes is a package-free shop where customers bring their own containers and refill essentials, which helps cut down on plastic waste and single-use packaging.
