I still figure that bleach substitute is not nearly as good as bleach
when white clothes are involved, and I should use bleach with really
dirty white clothes, or stuff that didn't come clean with a regular
wash.

But is it ok to add bleach when using a detergent that already
includes bleach-substitute (I can't remember what they call that)?

Should I have a box of non-bleach detergent around for using with
bleach?

If you are inclined to email me
for some reason, remove NOPSAM :-)

No. And products such as OxiClean are not as effective as
(inexpensive) household bleach in the laundry.

Yes. Be extra careful with household bleach, a little goes a long way
and too much can damage fabrics.
