The alternative though is customers complaining that "my Clorox doesn't work like it used to", not knowing the reason why. I've always known that bleach "evaporates" when opened but I thought it was pretty stable as long as it's kept in a closed bottle.
Clorox bleach shelf life... I had no idea.

Great thread. I knew it aged fairly quickly. I also thought it was a gas which simply left the solution.
I've never seen Clorox in a Costco type store figuring they'd want to completely avoid having a caustic spill....especially with the requisite larger size containers.
Anybody ever do the "greasy and chunky black pan in a sealed plastic bag with Clorox overnight" trick? It's amazing.
It's the smartest thing my sister's second husband ever showed me.

Wow! Apparently bleach expires a little slower than a gallon of milk. The only alternative to this is to research the date codes and buy only that day or week when you need it.
Upon pouring the 6 year old Clorox I noticed a fluffy white substance coming out of the jug as well. It looked like small chunks of wet paper swirling about. Perhaps the chemical compounds separated.
I do wonder what laundry of ours is bleached anymore too. No tighty-whities, almost no white socks (only in winter for me), very few white towels... Only thing I can think of is my wife wears white tank-tops under her scrubs. We certainly don't buy bleach as much as we used to either.
You can use bleach in your washer's self cleaning cycle. Having disassembled older washing machines, you definitely want to clean your washer
