Very Easy Sterilisation Method - My Seedlings

An alternative way of using gaseous chlorine---opening and closing the medium jars inside a transparent ziplock bag and adding HCL to the bleach so that chlorine gas is released inside the bags---and therefore with much less risk of contamination is described here. Also read the comments where some extra details are described such as turning upside down the jar inside the bag to let the chlorine gas flow out:

A word of caution about this method: Chlorine Gas is VERY toxic and can be highly dangerous even in small amounts. Be extremely careful with it.

Hmm, interesting. However I couldn't find anything in the comments about turning the jars upside down to release the chlorine? I imagine its heavier than air so it just flows out. But since the volume of the bag is finite I don't see that really working very well. There would still be too much chlorine inside the jar.
I have 2 pods ripening any week now so maybe I'll give that a try!

Anyone else tried this? What are your experiences?
