Hair bleach does not stay active for very long once it has been mixed. It begins to lose strength quickly and should be used within an hour.

10% (v/v) sodium hydroxide (bleach) will destroy most bacteria and viruses. Let the bleach sit on the surfaces at least five minutes, then rinse well with clean water until you can't smell the bleach at all. Let the kennels dry out for 15 minutes, then you can use them again.

Why does bleach turns dark when using it to disinfect items?

Briefly: Bleach is generally white therefore when used on something 'dirty' all the dirt and germs are an invisible white or transparent colour. When the white bleach is mixed with the black dirt (in most cases) then the colour of the bleach turns black because the dirt mixes with white. If you mix black paint with white it turns black or grey because dark overpowers white. hope this helps your random curiosity :)

What happens when you mix bleach and pinesoL?

WHAT IS CHLORINE? Chlorine is a poisonous, greenish-yellow gas described as having a choking odor. It is a very corrosive, hazardous chemical. Usually combined with other chemicals, it is used to disinfect water, purify metals, bleach wood pulp and make other chemicals. Household bleach, used to whiten fabrics or remove mold from surfaces, is a 5% solution of a stabilized form of chlorine. Do Not Mix household bleach with base-containing or ammonia-containing cleaners. Dangerous levels of a very harmful gas can be released. Most of the chlorine that enters lakes, streams, or soil evaporates into the air or combines with other chemicals into more stable compounds. Chlorine-containing chemicals that seep through soil down into groundwater can remain unchanged for many years.
