Not rinsing clorox off before bottling?

[Fantastical]

I just watched an episode of home brewer tv... http://www.homebrewertv.com/page/4 (at about 4:30)

Gary said that after rinsing the bottle in a clorox/water solution not to rinse it off.

I understand that you don't want to introduce new organisms by rinsing it, but is it really ok to leave the clorox residue in the bottles?

If the bleach is diluted enough, it does not need rinsed.

I feel that bleach absolutely must be rinsed. Chlorine will bond with phenols to make chlorophenols. This will give your beer a nasty plastic chemical flavor.

This one of the reasons many brewers have abandoned bleach in favor of starsan.

Beer may taste bad, but your teeth will be whiter!
