I was cleaning off a shelf in the basement and I noticed that the area under my bleach 1 gallon container was all crystalized. It had been there about a year, and when used last it was approximately 1/2 full.
When I lifted it up today the cap was on tight, it was completely empty, and the container had sucked in on itself. The container was all crystallized around the lid, and dried crystals were all over the sides of the container.
On the shelf below this I had a Le Crueset porcelain stock pot with the lid on it and it had caught most of the dripping from the above bleach container. This pot had also become all crystallized on the outside, and when I lifted the lid I found that where the stainless steel rim of the pot lid had been in contact with the top of the pot it had became badly corroded.
The screw for the pot handle had also become badly rusted and in the bottom of the pot I found what appeared to be about 1 cup of highly concentrated bleach.
This whole shelf had been standing approximately 2' from our basement dehumidifier.
Is it possible that the dehumidifier caused the bleach to be siphoned out of the plastic bleach bottle? and, are there any other cleaning products that this may happen with?
