how would you use bleach to ‘clean water’?

do you mean add it to water and clean with that, or to make it drinkable... which is implied with the boiling statement

Couple tablespoons to 50 gallons. Tastes horrible, but it kills the stuff that will make you sick and/or kill you. Given a choice between bad tasting water, and getting sick in an emergency situation, I’ll take yucky water every time.

You can add a little bleach to water to make it drinkable. Make sure you know what you are doing first.

You use it to clean as well as to disinfect drinking water.

Three caps full to a gallon of water and let it set for an hour. Thanks to Duel Survival

Excellent article and right on the money.

Chlorine has a million practical uses. When weaponized, it’s a bummer.

When I was an Army Cadet (our Corps established pre-WWI) we learned the “quick response - no mask” approach to a Chlorine attack.
