I have always been a believer in the power of bleach when you need to get something really clean. And when I say clean, what I actually mean is disinfect. You see, dish soap and other cleaning agents will get rid of dirt and debris and some germs. But bleach is a disinfectant, which means it kill all surface bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms. I find it especially effective for stinky things like the trash can, the kitchen sink, and the litter box.
