The claim: Clorox Splash-Less Bleach Formula does not disinfect surfaces Our rating: True

that Clorox developed its Splash-Less Bleach Formula with a higher viscosity “in direct response to consumer comments about bleach splashing when poured into washing machine dispensers.” The thicker, more controlled bleaching solution was meant to ease pouring struggles while maximizing the bleach's laundry effects.

By adding the ingredients needed to achieve the higher viscosity for its Splash-Less formula, Clorox altered the concentration of sodium hypochlorite to a variable 1%-5%, which is not strong enough to sanitize and disinfect. According to the Clorox website, the company's regular bleach, absent the sudsing agent, has a sodium hypochlorite concentration between 5% and 6.5%.

Clorox has challenged these claims, asserting the company clarifies in the bottle’s description — located on the back — that the product is “not for sanitation or disinfection.” Further, if the disinfecting tab is selected on the company website's products section, the Splash-Less Bleach Formula will disappear from the selection panel.

According to reviews, confusion between the products by consumers become more common amid the coronavirus pandemic. Customers have claimed the “very similar” designs have led to repeated purchases of the wrong formula. Consumers also have taken issue with the splashless formula's slogan claiming, "it’s the same Clorox product you love, now with more power per drop."
