Is it OK to use bleach mixed with Clorox 2?
Use your bleach dispenser — it delays the addition of the bleach so the detergent brighteners have a chance to deposit on the fabrics. Do the 5-minute delayed addition (mix 3/4 cup Clorox ® Regular-Bleach₂ with CLOROMAX® in a quart of water, then pour into the washer 5 minutes after agitation begins). Again, this allows the detergent ingredients to begin working and the brighteners to deposit themselves on the fabric.

It makes it so sudsy that the washer hasn’t been able to properly rinse and spin and I often have to run a few rinse/spin cycles afterwards.
