Clorox
Famous bleach maker
Clorox is a brand of household bleach, so dominant in the American market that the name often stands in for bleach generally: I need to pick up some Clorox.
The brand extends to various cleaning products, but the original liquid bleach remains the core association—strong-smelling, used for whitening laundry and disinfecting surfaces.
