Calcium hypochlorite (HTH) is preferred, but sodium hypochlorite (bleach, or liquid chlorine) will work.
Bleach ( picture ) (sodium hypochlorite) is a chlorine source and can replace calcium hypochlorite (HTH™, etc.

Sodium hypochlorite (laundry bleach) can be used to sterilize inert materials, but a solution of potassium metabisulfite in water is better to use before bottling.
When 3% Sodium hypochlorite (bleach) solution is used to clean substrates, it is best to completely wipe up the bleach and its residue with either a wet cloth or paper.
Sodium hypochlorite the active ingredient found in household bleach--can also be used to sterilize water.

Sodium hypochlorite was chosen instead of chlorine gas to eliminate the safety concerns associated with gaseous chlorine.
The preferred chlorine donors are Sodium Hypochlorite or Calcium Hypochlorite as these are unstabilised and release their Chlorine quickly.

Use bleach that has sodium hypochlorite as its only active ingredient.
Sodium hypochlorite (bleach) is the only effective disinfecting agent.
