BLEACH HELP STICKY
NO BLEACH AT THE GROCERY?
NO PROBLEM!
Go to home improvement store and buy liquid pool bleach.
It’s sodium hypochlorite...usually 10%-solution but CHECK YOUR LABEL!
Our Lowe’s sells it for about $3.50/gallon
There were two pallets, in boxes contain three one gallon jugs.
IT MUST BE DILUTED.
THIS IS CAUSTIC. THE VAPORS WELL EAT METAL, SO READ STORAGE DIRECTIONS WELL.
THIS 10% CHLORINE IS 10-11 times stronger than what is sold at the grocery, which ranges from 2% to 6% solution.
This is simple but...
WARNING, IF YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE DOING, DON’T DO THIS.

“A chlorine sanitizer solution should have a concentration of 50 to 100 parts per million (ppm) in water between 75 and 100 degrees Fahrenheit, with a required contact time of at least seven seconds. Chlorine test strips are available to help you ensure the correct solution is created”
Chlorine test strips are available at Amazon.com
SO NOW WE KNOW THE MARGINS
How to determine how much liquid pool bleach to how much water?
From the site; “This easy-to-use calculator tells you how much bleach product to dilute with water to get your desired concentration (ppm) of chlorine solution. It is intended for use by public health units, health care facilities, child care centres, swimming pool operators, and the general public (e.g., for disinfection of wells and homes).
Important: Always add the bleach solution to the water when preparing the solution, not vice versa.
EXAMPLE: For my own use, I input these numbers...
Concentration of bleach product = My pool chlorine sodium hypochlorite gallon jug shows 10% on the label. CHECK YOUR OWN LABEL FOR YOUR %
Desired concentration of chlorine solution = I want 50ppm concentration after diluting with water
Desired volume of chlorine solution = I want to make one gallon
Desired unit of measure for bleach product...I have a syringe, so I’ll use ml.
RESULT...
“To make your chlorine solution add
1.99 millilitres of bleach to 1.00 US gallon of water”
One gallon of 10% sodium hypochlorite LIQUID pool chlorine is as much as,11 TIMES, as what you but at the grocery.
DO NOT DRINK
DO NOT USE IT IN THE LAUNDRY UNLESS YOU DILUTE IT CORRECTLY
DO NOT GET IT IN YOUR EYES

NEVER MIX CHLORINE WITH ANY OTHER CHEMICALS...NEVER
IOW, 1/11th of a quarter teaspoon per gallon of water for regular household bleach. I’ll never have to buy household bleach again.
Is it not the case that those NaOCl mix ratios are intended for application in bacterial disinfection? Are the same concentrations effective for viral disinfection, including lipid-encased viruses? I have no idea.
