clorox anywhere spray

[BeesMom9905]

This seems wonderful, but I was wondering if anyone knew what it is
made up of, and if there is anything else that can be sprayed to
almost anything to sanitize. I have a new crawler and a 1st grader, so
I would need gallons of this stuff. I know if I buy a bottle, I'll be
hooked and thought before doing that, I would search it out to see if
there is a homemade way of doing it...

Thanks for any info you can offer,
Monique

Soap and water will SANITIZE most anything. The word "sanitize" has a
specific meaning. It is almost synonymous with "clean." Do buy into the
advertising hype. Basically you have in ascending order:

clean
sanitize
disinfect
sterilize

Cleaning removes gross debris and dilutes organisms by physical means such
as rinsing. Sanitizing will kill some organisms (many harmless), but it
doesn't kill many pathogens. Disinfecting will kill many pathogens, but not
all. There are different levels of disinfecting, the best being "hospital
grade." This level will kill TB spores and HIV, but not hepatitis B.
Sterilizing kill everything.

Thanks for your input. So there really is not a homemade spray that
can do what this claims. I just thought the ease of spraying down the
toys between soap and water cleanings would be wonderful.

I would just spray them down with soap and water. The sanitizer really
won't be any better. You could always use a 10% solution of bleach and
water if the items are color safe. In dental offices, the most popular
surface disinfectant (better than sanitizer) is Birex

If you can get your hands on some of that, it would be much better than a
sanitizer. Alcohol is a sanitizer.

Wonderful advice - Thank You!

From: http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/home/articles/0128ho7fill0126.html

"The product contains sodium hypochlorite, the same compound used in household bleach but
in a much lower concentration that's more akin to pool water. The product contains 0.0095
percent sodium hypochlorite, compared with 3 to 6 percent for household bleach.
advertisement The lower concentration makes it less effective at killing germs than a
disinfectant, and it does not kill viruses or other microorganisms."

Here is the MSDS: http://tinyurl.com/rn6vh Boring.

If you can do the math, you can make the product. I urge you to note the limitations of
this product.

There are many ways to achieve your goal. You might consider a restaurant type, quaternary
ammonium chloride disinfectant. They have no perfumes, zero (or Very close) detergent,
leave virtually no residue, require no rinsing and are nontoxic at in-use dilution--which
can be up to 1:512, depending on the product. Note: proper dilution for this grade of
product is essential.


Whatever it takes.

Where does killing mold fall into this list? I am extremely sensitive
(allergic) to mold and need to clean up a few places in my home where it has
formed over the winter. I was wondering what would be best to use to clean
it. The windowsills and lower edges of the aluminum windows are the biggest
place. These would be over the wooden windowsills.

Thanks

I don't know what's in that spray.

Citrus packers have found household bleach and baking soda to be
the most effective disinfectant for washing fruit. I think their
mixture amounts to a teaspoon of bleach and a teaspoon of baking
soda per quart of water.

I use it in the kitchen. The baking soda helps the bleach work
faster, helps it remove greasy films, and makes it milder to the
hands. Once mixed, the shelf life is short, maybe less than a day.
I keep some bleach in a detergent bottle and some baking soda in a
shaker so I can mix some disenfectant in a jiffy. For some uses I
add less water.
