For Top-Loading Machines:

    Add your favorite detergent to the washing machine before adding clothes or bleach.
  2. Fill
    Fill the bleach dispenser to the max fill line with Clorox® Bleach or Clorox® Scented Bleach, or add 1/2 cup (125 ml) of bleach directly to the washing machine.

After you wash a load of clothing with bleach, it should be safe to follow with a regular load. As long as your washing machine is functioning properly there shouldn’t be any bleach residue inside, so any non-bleachable items you wash next should be unaffected.
