Me: It cleans like a champ but it won't bleach your clothes white or attack scum and stains like bleach will. Force of Nature: The reason Force of Nature is as effective as bleach is because hypochlorous acid is actually what gives bleach its antimicrobial power. Without hypochlorous acid, bleach wouldn't kill any germs. So with hypochlorous acid, you get the disinfecting power without the danger and without the whitening.
