Bleach seems to be a good way to kill bacteria. Makes me wonder if there are any strains immune to bleach.
Cryptosporidia species are highly resistant to bleach, and are a significant cause of diarrhea in day care centers and schools. They can be killed by hydrogen peroxide.
The option to use bleach is not as simple as one may think. The Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS, pronounced “eeclyss”) can easily be poisoned by various vapors. At least that is what the ECLSS people told me when I needed something onboard cleaned with alcohol (methyl or ethyl).
