Wow..you've led a sheltered life, haven't you?
Just dump a cup or so (no need to actually measure) in with your white laundry. Don't use it with colored clothes! No gloves, etc. necessary, just wash it off if any gets on you.
Get Clorox Clean-Up, it is a cleaner w/ bleach in it, I love it for disinfecting the kitchen and bathroom. Just don't wear good clothes because it will mess them up if you get any on them.
