What containers can I store bleach in

Is bleach flammable or explosive

So is bleach flammable? No – bleach (chlorine and non chlorine based) is a non flammable liquid. It will not catch fire by itself, but its oxidizing properties may help a fire spread in your house and burn more intensely.

Why is bleach stored in opaque bottles

How long can bleach be stored

Bleach can expire. After a shelf life of six months, bleach starts to degrade. Even in its original bottle, bleach becomes 20 percent less effective as each year goes by.
