I like the idea of further diluting the bleach solution before discarding. Thank you.

[@OklahomaGardening]

Thanks for watching!

[@livegrowwithcarolyne5377]

You must be kidding me! BLEACH! Shame on you.

[@residentialdreamer]

How do you dispose of the bleach water? Is it safe to just dump it on the ground? Won't it harm the biology of the ground? 🥰

Can you clean a colored ceramic pot with bleach?

[@OklahomaGardening]

Yes. The ceramic surface is a hard, nonporous surface so it should be safe to use a sanitizing bleach and water solution after it has been cleaned.
