wrote: One part household bleach in 10 parts water is what the micro labs use to disinfect surfaces. Just get a spray bottle specifically made to be used with corrosive chemicals (Home Depot or Lowes is a good source for these), and flush the excess solution after cleaning - don't store it in the spray bottle, because it'll usually corrode the spring in the sprayer mechanism. Bleach can be harmful to your lungs, so use it in a well ventilated area. When you figure cost and effectiveness, you can't beat bleach. One of the few things I like about spending time at the hospital with Howard is the faint tinge of bleach in the air that tells me things are clean. :-) Yes, I'm weird. ;-) Take care, Carmen This dilution is what I use. I store it in an old 20 oz. water bottle (no kids or animals in my house!). After dinner I soak a sponge with it then wipe down the kitchen counter top, leaving a very thin "film" (IOW, not rinsing it or drying it) overnight. I rinse the sponge in clear water. The next morning, prior to breakfast, I wipe the counter with clear water. This process is extremely speedy as I have only 4 feet of counter tops!!! Plus it helps keep the dirtiest thing in the kitchen...the sponge...somewhat clean! And I wash fruits and vegetables in a sink full of water with a couple of *drops* of this dilution. That small amount probably doesn't do a darn thing but it makes me feel like I'm killing unseen, unknown critters! That's kind of the extent of my germ warfare. I agree with the other poster when it comes to to much germ warfare can be a bad thing. Aloha...Sue |

Yes, it is safe. It is added to drinking water and swimming pools
routinely. You don't want to breath the vapors too much, good thing to do is spray some around and leave the room while it does its stuff, come back and rinse when the fumes have died down. What do dioxins have to do with bleach, it's just chlorine in water? In , Roger Zoul stated | I would like to know what you all think of using common bleach to | clean your bathroom and kitchen areas. Do you think it is safe to | use around your family? Do you feel it is environmentally safe? | What about those dioxins and stuff? It kills mold and stuff, but | personally, I hate the smell of the stuff. |

It's great in the bathroom. I also love the smell of freshly washed and bleached towels. Since I don't use fabric softener (it affects absorption), the bleach makes them smell wonderfully clean.
