Make a solution of bleach water to use as a disinfectant?
-
- When using bleach as a disinfectant, a fresh solution must be made each day.
- For routine cleaning/disinfecting of normal surfaces that are not grossly contaminated a 1:100 solution of bleach is recommended.
- Add 3 Tablespoons (1.5 fl. oz.) of household bleach to 1 gallon of water, 1 Tablespoon (0.5 fl. oz.) per 1 pint of water.
- To clean up a large volume of infectious fluids, such as during an infectious medical waste spill, a 1:10 solution of bleach to water should be used.
- Add 1.6 Cups (13 fl. oz.) of household bleach to 1 gallon of water, 1/4 Cup (2 fl. oz.) per 1 pint of water.
- The above calculations are based on regular bleach which contains 5.25% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl). If the product you use has less than 5.25%, you will need to add more bleach.
