Obviously, I’ve heard of table salt (NaCl), but I’ve also heard of others substances being called salts. What do they mean by something being a salt?

There’s the regular Clorox bleach that we use with whites, but then there is non-chlorine bleach. What is a bleach?

    Others have already answered “what is a salt?” fairly extensively, so I’ll just add that one of the most common non-chlorine bleach is an aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), usually in the 3% to 10% range.
