I see NO REASON at all to use acidified bleach.  Bleach by itself is  all 
that you need, and Robb showed it was more effective, at least on the  
benchtop, than acetic acid.
 
FYI, mixing chemicals can have unexpected results - even when a chance  of 
something unforseen seems unlikely.  For example, the MERC index  warns 
against mixing thymol with other chemicals.  And, some recent studies  are 
beginning to indicate that using two or more mite treatments together may  have 
detrimental impacts to bees.
 
I have the same reservations about Chemigation - where everything from  
multiple pesticides to pesticide/fertilizer mixtures are being made up.  No  
one knows what that can do to toxicity to bees, possibly even people.
