Question about bleach.

[KurtV]

Here's a study report on sodium hypochlorite (bleach) shelf life: http://www.forp.usp.br/restauradora/soda/sodaingl.html

It degrades somewhat regardless of UV eposure and high temperature though both of those things certainly factor in.

I wouldn't worry at all about bleach degrading on the shelves of the big box stores, especially Wal-Mart. Nobody but nobody even comes close to rivaling Wal-Mart's inventory control system. Nothing sits on the shelf there very long; especially consumables like bleach.

I bought my first 6 jugs at Target along w/ a box of 20 Mule. Let the fun begin.....1.26 per jug.(3 quarts)

Just an FYI. I was at my local WalMart today. They had the 3qt jugs of 6% Ultra Bleach (store brand) on sale for 96 cents. That works out to be $1.28/gallon. Best price I've seen. BTW, I am in the Baltimore area.
