Do all Clorox products with bleach disinfect?

Clorox has several bleach based products in our portfolio—some are labeled as disinfectants and others are not. To determine if a product disinfects, check the label. All our disinfecting products—registered with the Health Canada—prominently carry an eight digit DIN number as a confirmation that they are approved to kill germs. As mentioned above, to help avoid market disruptions, as an interim measure, Health Canada has now allowed US products in Canada. So you may find some of our products in US labeling that are now available in Canada under this interim measure. The US labeled disinfectants will also carry information on killing germs.
