I know you're kidding Linda, but suspect that 'Ajax the Less' was actually
named for a character in the Iliad.  Great Ajax (as it is usually
translated) was of course a major character, who defended the Greek ships
against a near-disastrous Trojan advance, and who later killed himself when
he was not awarded Achilles' armor.  There was another Ajax, usually called
Little Ajax, who gets a few mentions but otherwise does not play a major
part in the story.

Now as for Ajax the Cleanser (or Clean Ajax), it should be just as
effective as Comet if it contains Sodium or Calcium hypochlorite, which
should be listed on the can.
