A guy told me this and I got sort of confused. We were talking about sanitizing and he brought up sainitizing with bleach. I said i sanitized with star san and then he said star san was a type of bleach. Is this true?

Bleach is made of chlorine IIRC Star San is not. That said it does exhibit bleaching properties.

Starsan is a food grade acid. Bleach is steel pitting chlorine.
