like clorox bleach? or any other disinfectants?
I'm staying in an "Apart-Hotel" for a month in paris with a Roommate
(we're both traveling from school)
anyways i'm a major germaphobe and want to make sure they sell cleaning products in France (paris to be exact)
the mere thought of sitting on a dirty toilet or showering in an infected tub gives me goose bumps

i was just informed that this question carried a terrible double entendre that i did not intend
i don't mean to say that i doubt that France is a clean country
I just want to make sure I'll be able to find my lysol, my ajax, my pinesol and all other products i counldn't live without
remember danny tanner in the show full house??? i'm practically as germaphobic as he was

As other posters have said, they sell cleaning products here in any grocery store. However, bleach (eau de javel) is sold either in liter bottles or in little plastic tube thingies that you have to put in a litter bottle and dilute yourself... They have Ajax, something similar to pinesol, but no Lysol (my mum is coming from the states next week and is bringing me some!).
I also recommend wipes (lingettes) but if you need heavy duty stuff, get Cilit Bang....
Have fun!

Bleach is called "eau javel" and is sold in almost any supermarket. Disinfectants and windex and all sorts of other cleaners can all be found in supermarkets as well, and usually you have the choice between spray bottles like the ones in the US or wipes, which a lot of people use. I recommend them because they're very practical. Hope this helps!

Why would you ask such a stupid question? If you're going to give heed to all of the ugly stereotypes and caricatures spewed by the France-bashers out there, why would you want to take any chances by actually going anywhere?

This is pretty funny question. The short answer is yes you can get anything you can get in the US.
The longer answer is that your on the Internet. Why not try a search engine for something like "French Cleaning Products"

Your question is stupid. We have cleaning products obviously. It's not the middle age. You can find all the cleaning products that you want but the names can be differents.

I could guess (no offense) you are from a very very small town where you've never heard of any culture other than yours. Thus I believe this trip will be a good opportunity for you to know the world around you, and I feel sorry for the French who read your question. Yours is destroying whatever good feelings they might have for the US. Very sorry for your lack of manner, young lady. Should ask some friends instead of posting it worldwide!

yes, and the grocery stores are set up similarly to ours so just look for an aisle with all of those products
the french word for bleach is décolorant

Cleaning products for the house yes. Things like deodorant no.
