Re: [Histonet] Bleach Regs
We don't store anything under the sinks in our lab per CAP regulations. I do not understand why, nor do I have the specific checklist question at my fingertips, but we always make sure everything is removed from under the sinks at inspection time.

Re: [Histonet] Bleach Regs
Cleaning supplies may be stored under the sink. Bleach is a cleaning agent. We do it and no inspector looking there has ever said anything about it.
