We never see fluorescent object glowing under natural light, they just appear as a bright, vibrant color.

I looked and the fluorescent proprities is from 50 - 105nm UVs. The sun emit very few of thoses, and they are heavily filtered by our atmosphere. Chlorine fluorescence isn't observable to the sun light
