Spilled Bleach…How to fix

This is a little off my normal topic of cameras and gadgets but I thought this was interesting.  Yesterday, my wife purchased bleach at the store, dropped the container and cracked it.  She was unaware of the crack and placed the jug in my car.  It leaked all over and through my carpet.  Interestingly the carpet did not discolor (props to Ford).  Its a 2004 Ford f150 by the way.  But it did burn my nose hairs right out!  I thought it would be days before I could drive the car due to the smell.  After a little research I found out that peroxide is a neutralizer for bleach.  So I purchased a bottle of 3% peroxide at the store and poured it all over the spill location.  They recommend a 1:1 ratio for spill vs. neutralizer.  The oder immediately started to subside and this morning it seems all good.  Anyway…

Tip of the day.
