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,

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.

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?

Nope, you're not weird. 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.
