Neutralizing Sodium Hypochlorite 12.5%

Peroxide will certainly destroy bleach,and fairly cleanly too. ( the products are salt water and oxygen.)

But the reaction is vigorous- possibly dangerous on anything but a very small scale.

 

Also, the easiest way to destroy hypochlorite is simply to wait.

It decomposes to salt water and oxygen (though it takes a few years)

I use a 50 gallon mixture roughly 32 gallons of water and 18 gallons of sodium hypochlorite 12.5% to clean the exterior of houses. I'm looking to neutralize the effects of the bleach so that no plants or grass is damaged if it comes down the gutters.

 

Thanks.

If you neutralise it before you use it, it won't do the job you want it to do. It is a good cleaner and mould-killer because it is so reactive. As long as you don't use the thickned stuff with gel in it, it will completely evoaporate away just fine. You can't stop it harming green stuff and expect it to be useful. The best you might do is thoughly hose water over those areas ASAP after the job is done.
