    1. Let's begin with that household product you probably pass everyday. Or, at the very least, that you pass every week as you are pouring your clothes into the washer or dryer, and that, my dear readers, is bleach. While it might not sound like the best idea, bleach is a chemical that will attack a fungal infection with a sharp fist, disinfecting the infected region and killing the spores or bacteria that accumulated. As well, it couldn't be any less expensive.formula 3 antifungal review
