sodium hypochlorite is the chemical name for bleach....

True but not the same thing - it's a fair bit stronger than the household stuff. Household bleach typically 5% compared with hypo around 15%.

I'm talking about this type of product:

Jennychem Sodium Hypochlorite Solution 14-15%, Powerful Swimming Pool Chlorine, Patio Cleaner, Transform Your Outdoor Space (5L) https://amzn.eu/d/cQqHLZj

So was Bookworm in the post just before yours - "their concentration is more than the 4.5% you get in domestic shop bought bleach. Instead buy 10% (or more) bleach sold for use in swimming pools and dilute"

Just need to remember that the a lot of the audience are not technical - to them your posts could look like you were saying "bleach" is wrong but "sodium hypochlorite" is right.  That would be confusing.

Perhaps wording like "if you can't find bleach strong enough, try searching for sodium hypochlorite instead" would look less like you are trying to correct things that we both know were already right.
