Answers:
yes you can thats exactally what they did in the Mr.Clean magis eraser just dont use it on color walls
it might take the paint off if to strong,try vinegar and water on walls/door
White has thousands of variations - bleach is not color coded.
Your best cleaning agent for all things is TSP - tri-sodium-phospate - available at all hardware stores and most Walmarts. It is the central ingredient in all cleaners of any substance. Mix very thin for walls, rinse right away with clean water, and dry (for small areas a hair dryer is fine or put a shop vac in reverse and just let it blow. TSP mixed almost straight will strip paint. Experiment with it here and there - put in spray bottle and do windows, counters, tile, bathrooms, whatever - instead of dozens of "specialized" items just buy TSP by the box. If you want lemon scent - buy some scent and drop a little into your mixture - I crush a mint from my gaden into it when for washing floors - also makes a nice air freshener. A little crushed cinnamon or nutmeg also sweetens it up - it has no odor of its own.
yea, it wont tear the paint off
What is important to noet here is that bleach is NOT a cleaner. Bleach is a sanitizer. It kills bacteria, germs and so on. With stains bleach doesn't actually remove the stain... the stuff that the mark is made of. What it does is take the color out of it so that you can't SEE that stain. It also kills any bacteria in the material that the stain is made of.
Cleaning is a process of removing one material from another... katchup from denim jeans for instance, or crayon from a painted wall. If things weren'y sticky... if y they didn't bond to one another, stains would fall to the floor when you stood up. So the key is to break the bonds between materials.
Breaking these bonds is what detergents do. The chemical make up of detergents is such that the Ph level is either higher or lower than that at which materials bond to each other. Wash something in a detergent and the bonsde between things break. In the launfry this means that stains fall off and are rinsed down the drain.
Try Tide laundry detergent, in a low concentration mix with water. You'll find that it does a great job of cleaning, not just sanitizing. And you won't destroy your skin with the bleach, which is highly caustic and can cause burns and blindness.
