Wear protective clothing, gloves, and safety glasses when handling bleach. It is
harmful if swallowed and may cause eye or skin irritation. Household bleach is

Use household bleach that is free of heavy metals, such as Clorox.
To prepare a 10% solution of household bleach, dilute one part of bleach with
nine parts of clean distilled water, or clean deionized water. The prepared solution
is stable for one week when stored at room temperature.
To prepare a 25% solution of household bleach, dilute one part of bleach with
three parts of clean distilled water, or clean deionized water. The prepared solution
