    Default Bleach time frame ?

    What kills the strength of bleach?
    Time
    Heat
    sunlight

    I keep my bleach in the garage .. no sunlight but plenty of heat. I buy those 3-pack of 1.42G from Sams but by the time I am on the 3rd bottle the smell is not that strong.

    Just curious what weakens bleach.

    I would put them in the order
    1) Sunlight
    2) Heat
    3) Time

    I figure Sunlight is never OK, but Heat is OK if time is short enough and Time is OK if heat is low enough. Heat and Time together = weak.

    Smell may not be a reliable indicator of the strength of the bleach. I have had some stuff that had no smell that really rocked the FC.
