• 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.

  + −

  Bleach and other disinfectants are not suitable for consumption, ingestion or injection under any circumstances. Consumers should always read the directions for use on label for proper usage instructions. Disinfecting surfaces with bleach and other disinfecting products helps to stop the spread of COVID-19. Health Canada has published a list of disinfectants that may be used against SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 (https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/drugs-health-products/disinfectants/covid-19/list.html).

  Our products are safe when used properly. It’s critical that everyone understands the facts in order to keep themselves safe and healthy, which is why we continue to educate people about how to use disinfectants safely and effectively against the virus that causes COVID-19.
