Is it true that household bleach kills germs on hard surfaces?

Yes. The CDC states that bleach containing sodium hypochlorite is effective at killing germs when properly diluted and can be used as a solution on many surfaces in the home. A separate study reports dilute bleach kills common household mold under laboratory conditions, while one parasite study notes Toxoplasma oocysts resist household bleach.
