Things You'll Need
Bleach
Water
Spray bottle
Rubber gloves
Put on the rubber gloves.
Pour 1 cup of water into a spray bottle.
Add 1 cup of bleach.
Shake well.
Spray the weeds with the bleach solution. Because this solution will kill anything green, don't splash it on any plants you want to keep.
Tips & Warnings
For weeds that are harder to kill, pour bleach on them straight from the bottle.
Never mix bleach with other household cleaners such as ammonia, as this can cause toxic fumes.
When working with bleach, wear gloves and work in a well-ventilated area. Avoid getting bleach on your skin.
