If bleach touches your skin and feels slippery, it's not magic - it's soap! Bleach breaks down the fat on your skin turning it into slippery soap. So yep, wearing gloves with bleach isn’t just for show - it’s science.

    Here’s a mind-bender: 95% of your brain’s working is behind-the-scenes, unconscious stuff. What’s weirder? Studies show your brain decides stuff seconds before your conscious mind even knows it. So basically, your brain tricks you into thinking YOU’RE in charge. Sneaky!
