Rohan was very angry because of the oil spot on his favourite shirt. His mother want to make him happy and doesn't know what to do. Her neighbour Mrs Sharma advised him to use bleach (bleaching powder, CaOCl2) to remove the oil spot. Read the above passage and answer the following questions.

(ii) Which substance, is available in the market to remove such spots?
(iii) What values are associated with Mrs Sharma?
(i) No, we will not suggest to use bleach (bleaching powder, CaOCl2) to remove oil spot. Bleaching powder will hide oil spot but cause a discolouration. It would not draw oil out of the clothing at all.
Bleach is not used to remove greasy things out of the clothes as it can damage the fine fabrics in it

They show instant results. They have a property to remove any kind of stain. These are used to remove greasy things out of the clothes.
