Not sure that everyone knows bleach has a rather short self life. About 9 months.

"Not sure that everyone knows bleach has a rather short self life. About 9 months."

I've been told that it loses 50% of its strength in about a year.

That's why I stopped trying to store household bleach and just got some of the Calcium Hydrochlorite...I'll make my own bleach when the time comes.

That is only when srored in sunlight.

If you’re buying bleach at Costco, or Sam’s club, you would be wise to keep it in the cardboard boxes that it comes in.

If that cannot be done, aluminum foil works even better.
