Viruses like common cold, HIV are not affected by bleach
some bacteria are killed by bleach at full strength, But viruses can only be killed by high temperatures usually above 90 c most viruses are dead
Does any kind or type of bacteria/virus survive in bleach or common antiseptics?
i suppose some do if lysol is only effective on 99.9%...lol
Reply:Bacteria are ususally relatively easy to kill - detergent is good at it because it destroys the cell wall.
Viruses are harder. So manufacturers of bleach are reluctant to claim 100%. Firstly, the solution needs to be quite strong - at least 1 part in 50 or even 1 part in 20. Secondly, it has to reach everywhere. And thirdly the virus may have to be in contact with it for a long time - not just a few seconds.
Reply:Virus can be killed ( with a guarentee) - only by boiling at high temperature.
Hence, there is a high chance of virus surviving. Virus also mutate and become resitance to a particular chemical molecule.
Reply:bleach will pretty much kill everything.
