Clorox Doesn't Really Fix Everything

I heard on a radio morning show once that there are people who love the smell of gasoline, rotting garbage, even carion. And most everyone's got that one uncle who enjoys the scent of his own farts. There's some scientific explanation for this, apparently, but let's just call it weird. Not that I'm judging. Me, I really like the smell of household cleaners. Not in the "I really like the smell of household cleaners because I am using them to get high" sort of way, but in a "this is the intoxicating aroma of a nearly germ-free bathroom" sort of way. The scent of bleach and amonia is in a small way also the scent of victory.

Yes, over bacteria, but I'm easy to please.

Cleaning products, I'm learning, also factor quite a bit into the questions I am asked here. A common - and disturbing - bit of lore is that drinking cleaning products, especially bleach, will aid one in "beating" a urine drug test. This, in addition to being absolutely dangerous, is also absolutely false. To illustrate, here is an email excerpt from one of our more knowledgeable customers:

It's amazing how many quick solutions there are. I even had one person say to add a couple drops of bleach to a glass of water. "It'll burn for about an hour, but you'll pass." You better believe I'll pass...on that idea, anyway. Can you imagine people actually doing that? Almost poisoning themselves for a chance at passing the test.

The lesson being: the human body is not a linoleum kitchen floor. It cannot be "cleansed" or wiped blank with disinfectants. Drug test adulteration strips can be used to detect whether a test has anything in it besides urine and/or drugs. Many test have built-in adulteration testing as well. In the end, drinking bleach may give you that antiseptic fresh breath you've always wanted, but the all stomach pain and vomiting might lessen its appeal. And it definitely won't help you pass a drug test.
