There are inevitable messy moments in life when the "yuck" is so over the top all you can do is reach for the bleach.  Clorox® calls these "bleachable moments," and there isn't a better place to find these than in the mecca of all messy moments – Las Vegas.  That's why in its second year The Clorox® Company is taking its Bleach It Away program to the Strip. 

"We know life gets messy and sometimes all one can do is laugh. In Vegas there is a whole different level of ick, and I'm excited to be joining Clorox® to hear people's messy moments firsthand," said Kinsey. "As a mom, I've seen my fair share of messes and it's nice to know someone else understands what I'm going through and can share in the fun of a little comic relief."

Besides patrolling in search of messy moments, Clorox® is taking over with two interactive digital billboards. Now through February 24, visitors can visit www.BleachItAway.com/Vegas to fill in the blanks of a messy Vegas moment for the chance to have it featured in bright lights over the Vegas Strip on the Fashion Show Mall and Miracle Mile billboards.
