To clean a well using bleaching powder, first ensure safety by wearing protective gear (gloves, mask, goggles). Dissolve one ounce of bleaching powder in one gallon of water to create a disinfecting solution. Pour the solution into the well and allow it to stand for at least 24 hours, ensuring the well is not used during this time. After 24 hours, pump the water out until the chlorine odor is gone. This process helps in sanitizing the well effectively.
