Chlorine (pronounced /ˈklɔəriːn/ KLOR-een, from the Greek word 'χλωρóς' (khlôros, meaning 'pale green'), is the chemical element with atomic number 17 and symbol Cl. It is a halogen, found in the periodic table in group 17 (formerly VII, VIIa, or VIIb). As the chloride ion, which is part of common salt and other compounds, it is abundant in nature and necessary to most forms of life, including humans. In its elemental form (Cl2 or "dichlorine") under standard conditions, chlorine is a powerful oxidant and is used in bleaching and disinfectants, as well as an essential reagent in the chemical industry. As a common disinfectant, chlorine compounds are used in swimming pools to keep them clean and sanitary. In the upper atmosphere, chlorine-containing molecules such as chlorofluorocarbons have been implicated in the destruction of the ozone layer.

How do you get a chlorine bleach stain out of 100% white cotton?
Q. The item is a white cotton skirt where chlorine bleach was a no no.

A. Chlorine bleach doesn't stain fabric, it removes the color from fabric. So you can't remove a chlorine bleach spot, but you can try to make the entire fabric whiter by washing it in chlorine bleach.

How do you remove yellow stains from chlorine bleach left on sweater?
Q. After using Clorox on some red stains that bled from red flowers on a sweater, some spots turned yellow. When I read label said only non-chlorine bleach. So, now I need to get yellow stains out.

A. I've had mixed results soaking garments with those yellow bleach stains in my laundry tub with 3 scoops of oxyclean dissolved in hot water. I think it works for some of them because of the composition of fibers used to make the garment. But, for the ones it worked on they did disappear completely.

What is the best hydrating shampoo for chlorine damaged hair?
Q. I'm a diver so I spend a lot of time in the pool. The chlorine has destroyed my hair and I need shampoo/conditioner to keep it healthy and hydrated. My hair is dry and dead, and I can't find a shampoo that works. Any suggestions?

A. I had the same problem with dry damaged hair. I started using an aloe based sulfate free shampoo and conditioner. I now have very healthy hair.
