I only used pool shock for my pool so far but I’ll have to dive into that a bit more since it has for sure a longer shelf life in dry form than regular bleach.
Good to know; I’ll give it another good bleach rinse before filling with water. Thanks for the link; that gave me a good understanding as well. So regular household bleach is safe for use in these containers for disinfecting. That was another major point I was a bit skeptical about.
Thanks for that informative reply! I’m not sure my hand fits through that hole but will check 🙂 I’m a bit worried about the very concentrated bleach solution, wouldn’t that be a bit too aggressive on the container? Would it actually be possible to bleach the color which would mean it would release more chemicals? I’ll wash it again with soap and I’ll try the baking soda tip. Hopefully, that will help. I almost dropped one of those containers because they do get heavy but I really like the heavy and sturdy built of them.
Good idea, thank you!
