Why yes!  I normally use iodophore (sp?) or B-Brite, but have on occasion
not had them available and used a dilute bleach solution.  Regardless of
the sanitizer used, a rinse with boiled water always follows to ensure no
pollution of the wort/must.  Highly effective and recognozed/recommended by
the more advanced brewers and vintners I know.  Of course, being a Puck and
therefore scrupulous only about what I brew and cook, I rinse twice.
