Bleach kills living things.

This is bad if you get it on your skin obviously

This is bad for sewage systems because there are bacteria that actually break down the sewage. You want bacteria in your sewage systems.

However it can be good for surfaces that you want to clean to avoid the spread of disease. It’s also good for removing stains from white clothing towels etc, but not good for colored clothing towels etc because it will remove the coloring.

In other words it is a ridiculously powerful cleaner and disinfectant but not every material can survive this type of intense cleaning.
