Shared this on another thread so thought to post it again for everyone...
...
From Lowe’s...
Pool bleach (10% chlorine) $4/gallon
25 oz chemical resistant trigger spray bottle $4 each (get a few)
Three drops dish soap
Add 25oz water to spray bottle
Add 4-tablespoons of 10% bleach
Add three drops soap
Seal, gently shake to mix and spray surfaces.
Always add water first, then bleach, then soap.
For one quart mason jar (32oz)...
Five tablespoons of 10% bleach and five drops soap.
For local travel wipes...
Take a 32oz . mason jar, fill it with 10oz of diluted mixture. Roll up three microfiber towels (also available at Lowe’s). Insert the rolled towels in the jar and seal. They will absorb the solution. Bring an extra jar (lid marked “used wipes) and an extra dry microfiber towel.
When leaving the store, grab a soaked towel, wipe down everything...hands, parcels, car door, phone,jar,. keys etc. Place used damp towel in the extra jar for later washing. Use dry towel to dry off hands. You’ll need to thoroughly wipe everything.
For spraying down parcels from Amazon etc...
Get one gallon pump sprayer. Mix 6.75oz of bleach (10%) and ten drops soap into one gallon of water. Seal, shake, pump and saturate all sides of box. Allow to dry. Don’t forget that Amazon employees touched the box inside, so spray it too.
Makes solution which is 5% bleach, 5000 ppm
FWIW, 6000ppm is strong enough to kill blood born pathogens.
6360 ppm is what’s in the Lysol spray disinfectant.

One gallon of pool bleach is ten times stronger than the 2% household bleach mostly sold at the grocery. Seal lid tightly when not in use. This method is a fraction of the cost of using regular bleach and the home improvement stores are and have been flush with supply, because nobody is aware of this use.
Store opened bleach in cool dark place away from metals you don’t want to rust (like the Harley)
Read label to confirm bleach content
3 drops, but in general you need to be careful about mixing the two. Some dish soaps contains ammonia and which creates a poisonous gas. Other chemicals can also react, https://momadviceline.com/is-it-safe-to-mix-dish-soap-and-bleach, but as said, 3 drops is not much of a mixture though you should not inhale for a few seconds.
