Domestos or other Very Strong Bleach?

Hi

Can anyone recommend any good brands of really strong bleach like the UK equiv of Domestos please?

It needs to be a strong liquid bleach which I can pour in to a bath to use to clean alsorts of things, particularly plant pots, as I have a collection of plants which have a virus, and I need to do a very thorough clean of all my gardening equipment plus a few other household objects.

I've looked in the co-op and migros and wasn't sure what to get. I don't want anything thats in a spray bottle. It must be a strong liquid bleach that I can use in the bath so I can clean lots of different things at once.

Ideally, I want a domestos equivalent.

Thanks
Oscar

I do not think there is a Domestos equivalent here. I use Javel (bleach) tabs that dissolve in water - depending how strong you want it just add more tabs. You can also buy bottles of liquid Javel too if you would rather not use the tablets. Both Migros and Co-op sell it.

Domestos is available in Germany - I got some from either Obi or Edeka (or possibly! Rewe)
