I find that not using bleach periodically in my low water usage washing machine results in an unpleasant odor in my clothes. Yes, they do make a product to deodorize the machine when used periodically, but that means running the machine and not washing clothes for one use.
Bleach goes down the drain and into the water table, down the streams into the ocean killing all kinds of wild things. Look here, http://www.sustainablebabysteps.com/what-is-bleach.html, for good information.

I like the smell of clothes being washed in bleach. And after they’re dry, they smell good.

Too much bleach along with hot water can turn whites into yellows…

Bleach is corrosive, I wouldn’t use it as a cleaning agent around the house, except to eliminate some mold.
