Be careful opening an old half full bottle bleach, maybe do it outside. No l didn't learn this the hard way. I have a gallon jug of bleach in the shed and wondered if it expires or not. Decomposition becomes noticeable around a year after production.

That is worth remembering for survival purposes. If you're planning to use bleach for water sterilization, it has a limited shelf life. One alternative is to stock chlorine tablets which will keep much longer.

You can use pool shock for this purpose, as long as it has no dyes or scents or otherwise bad chemicals in it.

That's why you don't mix bleach with hot water.

No wonder the smell makes me want to go for a swim.

What do you smell when you use bleach? Think about it.

I had no idea it starts decomposing more or less immediately, but it makes sense knowing it's created by percolating gas into a liquid, sort of like a poisonous carbonated soda, except it's also sensitive to heat and any metal ions present in the water.

Just mix it with amonia
