Bleach and laundry detergent can sometimes be used in the same wash, but only when the labels say it is safe.
Use the washer's bleach dispenser if it has one, and follow the bleach bottle directions. More bleach does not mean better cleaning.
Never mix bleach with vinegar, ammonia, rubbing alcohol, toilet cleaners, or random household cleaners because dangerous fumes can form.
Sometimes, but only use bleach with detergents that are labeled bleach safe. The best result comes from handling it the right way instead of guessing.
