I can support that fact Jackie... In my early days of housekeeping I left "tilex" (basically bleach itself) sit on the tub for an hour or so. That is a NO NO. It ate away some of the porcelain leaving a rust like color in some spots. Bleach when used on porcelain should always be rinsed right away. I do use bleach for a lot of things but you have got to be careful. It IS the one of the true things that will kill mildew.
