Kill all the microbes breaking down the stuff in there

A big no no. Bleach and antibacterial soap is bad for septic tanks. You will kill all the bacteria that eats up and dissolves the chunks. That’s why there’s RID-X which adds good bacteria and enzymes.

However, you can add a cup or two of bleach to a water well to kill nasties.
