Will Clorox bleach attack the cheap milky plastic jugs that windshield washer fluid comes in?  I've got a gallon jug that has sprung a leak (made a serious mess of things), but enough is left that I'd like to swap containers?  

To the Nazis, yes, I'll clearly mark it...

I would not. The bleach containers are UV treated & quite a bit heavier than the cheapo, thin walled milk jugs. It may be ok for a short while, but I'd damn sure make certain that if the jug lets go the bleach won't wreck a bunch of stuff. The household bleach is less than 5% active, but will still mess stuff (AND you) up.



Also, bleach is so cheap you could just buy another gallon & not worry.

That's what I thought...  

I guess I'll use the remaining as weed killer...
