Sodium hypochlorite kills bacteria by disrupting their cell membranes and denaturing proteins within the cells. This leads to the destruction of the bacteria's structure, preventing them from functioning properly and ultimately causing their death. Additionally, sodium hypochlorite generates hypochlorous acid in aqueous solutions, which further enhances its antimicrobial activity by oxidizing essential components within the bacterial cells.
