Javel

Javel is an Auchan‑branded household bleach sold in France, intended for cleaning and disinfecting a wide range of surfaces. Its active ingredient is sodium hypochlorite, which provides fast germ‑killing power but can cause skin irritation, respiratory discomfort, and corrosion of metals if misused. While it offers effective stain removal and sanitation at a low price, users should handle it with gloves, ensure good ventilation, and keep it away from children and pets.
