Sometimes, but only if the detergent label says it is safe to use with bleach.

This is a common everyday question, and the safest answer depends on storage, heat, material, and how the item is being used.

The main thing is to avoid guessing when food safety, heat, electricity, fabric care, or product labels are involved. When the item has a care label, package direction, or manufacturer warning, follow that first.

For best results, keep the item clean, use the right container or setting, and avoid extreme heat unless the product is clearly made for it.

Sometimes, but only if the detergent label says it is safe to use with bleach. If anything smells bad, looks damaged, overheats, or seems unsafe, it is better to stop and choose the safer option.
