Is this the right bleach to bleach some rock? I have a 20 gallon brute can full of rock, how much would I need?

Thank you,

That’s the one I have used. Most people dilute it 10:1 to soak rocks for a few days.

I only dilute it 5:1. I don’t have a good reason for mixing it twice as strong as everyone else.

I use bleach to strip rock at a 2-3 cups per 5 gallons of water depending how bad the rock is.

No- you want the basic bleach. The cheap bleach like dollar store bleach. I bought the one you have here with colormax technology or whatever it says and it doesn't work as good on non-clothing items. It has additives in it. You don't want those additives.
