Tesco Thick Bleach Lemon Safety Data Sheet -

Q: I can't find the official SDS on the Tesco website. Where is it? A: Tesco, like many grocery retailers, does not always host the full 16-section SDS for small household products on their public shopping site. You must contact their Customer Service or write to the Product Safety Department at Tesco HQ. Legally, they must provide it upon request.

Q: Can I use this on my granite worktops if it smells like lemon? A: No. The lemon smell is irrelevant. Acidic stones (marble, granite, limestone) are destroyed by bleach (Sodium Hypochlorite is alkaline, pH 11-13). It will etch the stone.

Q: The bottle says "Thick Bleach Lemon." Does lemon make it safer for septic tanks? A: No. "Lemon" refers to the fragrance, not the pH. Bleach kills the bacteria in septic tanks regardless of scent. Do not use any bleach in large quantities if you have a septic tank.

Q: I breathed in the fumes while cleaning the shower. What do I do? A: You have likely irritated your mucous membranes. Get fresh air immediately. If you feel a burning in your chest, wheezing, or bloody nose, go to A&E. If you just have a sore throat, drink water and rest. Do not use bleach in unventilated rooms (e.g., small bathroom with no fan).
