Choose a storage place away from direct sunlight and heat, as these two factors make it degrade a lot faster. Place the bleach in a dark, cool area with a controlled level of humidity and a relatively constant temperature. Also, keep it out of areas where accidents can happen.
Keep your bleach out of direct sunlight. Find a spot in your home that stays consistently cool, away from windows and heat vents. A closet, cabinet, or pantry in the center of your home is ideal. Sunlight and heat will cause the chlorine in bleach to evaporate, reducing its effectiveness and concentration.
u/dungeonsandderp gave you the correct answer, polypropylene (or polyethylene) containers will be perfectly suitable for handling hair bleach. (In fact, most plastics should be fine, especially for a short amount of time) Ceramic and glass will also be entirely impervious to it.
“The ideal storage temperature for bleach is between 50 and 70°F. If it's stored in hotter temperatures, it loses its strength even faster,” says Bock. The best spot to store bleach is in a cool, dry area away from sunlight.
Sodium hypochlorite storage needs to be at temperatures below 68 F (20 C) in air-tight bottles.
Bleach expires after about a year, but it starts degrading after six months. If you use Clorox, you can find the expiration date on your bleach by searching for a two-line code on the bottle above the label.
Keep hazardous products, such as bleach or drain cleaners, out of reach of children and pets by placing them on higher shelves or in locked cabinets. Store frequently used items at eye level or within easy reach for convenient access during your cleaning routines.
Storing at temperatures much higher than 70 degrees Fahrenheit could cause the bleach to lose its effectiveness and degrade more rapidly.
NaOCl storage is best indoors, in climate controlled, lower temperature conditions. Factors such as sunlight, heat, and solution impurities can affect bleach stability, reduce shelf life, and should be avoided.
Fuel and chemicals
All flammable substances, such as gas, oil, or other fuel, should be kept in a shed outside the house to reduce fire risk, and stored in approved fuel containers. Any cleaning chemicals should also be tightly capped and stored elsewhere to prevent fumes and container rupture from heat.

1 Main wash compartment: Detergent for the main wash, water softener, pre-soaking agent, bleach and stain remover. 2 Softener compartment: Fabric softener (do not fill higher than the line indicated by MAX). 3 Prewash compartment: Detergent for prewash or starch.
Plastics labeled with codes 1 (PETE) and 5 (PP) are generally considered safe for use with bleach, as they are more resistant to chemical reactions. However, plastics labeled with codes 3 (PVC), 6 (PS), and 7 (other) are not recommended for use with bleach.
Vertical cylinder tanks with flat bottoms and domed tops are the most common type of poly containers used to store sodium hypochlorite. Many companies report very successful storage of sodium hypochlorite with polyethylene containers.
In 1957, it was registered for use as a pesticide. Household bleach may contain up to 10% sodium hypochlorite, while industrial bleaches have higher concentrations of up to 50%.
Bleach can irritate the skin and eyes. Breathing in bleach over a long period of time can increase your risk of cancer. A dangerous gas can be formed when bleach is combined with certain chemicals (like ammonia).
Choose a storage place away from direct sunlight and heat, as these two factors make it degrade a lot faster. Place the bleach in a dark, cool area with a controlled level of humidity and a relatively constant temperature. Also, keep it out of areas where accidents can happen.
Does bleach last forever? When properly stored, bleach has a 1-year shelf life.
Store bleach in a safe, cool, dry place. Keep away from direct sunlight and heat. Close the cap tightly after each use. If using it in the home, keep it away from children.
Any left- over bleach can be flushed down the toilet or washed down a drain followed with plenty of water.
Since you can only obtain sodium hypochlorite as a solution (the crystalline solid form is very unstable), the practical limit to the temperature is the boiling point of water.
After a shelf life of six months, bleach starts to degrade. Even in its original bottle, bleach becomes 20 percent less effective as each year goes by. Bleach mixed with water at a 1:9 ratio (i.e. 10 percent bleach) is potent for about a day (it's more unstable in its diluted form).
Standard washers (traditional deep-fill models) don't always have bleach dispensers, but you can always add the bleach with the detergent when the washer is filling, before the clothing is added, so it is diluted before contacting any laundry.
One of the most well-known secrets of the hotel industry in keeping their sheets enviably is peroxide-based detergents. Bleach is also added to the mix. While these chemicals are truly effective in preventing white linens from greying or turning yellow, they do require some level of expertise.
Answer. Generally, with presoaking, we recommend a limited exposure time prior to washing (1/4 cup Clorox® Disinfecting Bleach in a gallon of warm water for 5–10 minutes before laundering). Wash in the hottest water recommended on the care label with detergent and 1/3 cup Clorox® Disinfecting Bleach.
