Yes bleach will kill weeds, but please do not use it to do this because it kills allot more than just the weeds, it will kill the organisms and bacteria in the soil and generally pollute the environment.

There are proprietary weed killers that you can use (if you have to) that are slightly less harmful to the soil (e.g. glyphosate) but it is better to remove weeds by hand digging, burning or hoeing.

Another very good way is to cover the weed area with an old carpet or black plastic and leave it for 2-3 months. The black plastic/carpet prevents the light reaching the weeds ad thy die off underneath without harming the environment.
