The active ingredient in bleach is chlorine and it will not denature with time. It will however dissipate and gas off over time if the bottle is left open. When capped off properly, a 10% chlorine mix will remain at strength in solution for weeks. If you are concerned about the wet environment, you could always wear rubber hip waders over the tyvek and these could be wiped down with the solution as well. The gloves were just a thought, and if skin is just as easily disinfected, then that is the way I would go. I do not believe that you will ever find a product that will adequately disinfect clothing from these fungal species as they are extremely difficult to kill and it will require that you wear tight, non-porous materials that do not absorb moisture and are resistant to powerful disinfectants.
