Could this be used to make one's own bleach.

We're currently fine on disinfectants because I keep a rotation of cleaning supplies on hand at all times.

I was just curious if there were a way for hospitals to get their hands on raw materials.

I don't think I would use this method for sanitizing water unless you legitimately know what you are doing.

But for sanitizing surfaces? Maybe?

Hmm, wonder if my septic tablets would work the same.

Why would you want to sanitize water? The supply is clean and not in jeopardy.

I was asking as a general surface disinfectant. The website talks about making your own bleach to disinfect water.

No our water is not at risk at the moment.

BUT if you can make bleach to disinfect water with pool shock why couldn't you also use the material at a higher concentration to disinfect surfaces.

Folks are hording bleach. So in the event you don't have bleach to disinfect surfaces the question is can you use pool chlorine to create your own disinfectant if you are a business owner.

Soap works fine to disinfect, just like on your hands. Relax, and take a deep breath.

Please read the WHOLE op before you post your condescension.

There are businesses and such that are need legitimate disinfectants not just soap but disinfectants in addition to soap.

Like I said in the op we're fine. It's people that *need* it that don't have it because of the stupid hording going on.



Soap washes germs away it does not kill anything.

You need BOTH in certain settings. I'm glad you're up to date on your micro-biology but your reading is worse than my kindergartner's

Just boil water and that will disinfect

I'm not being condescending, I am trying to help. Almost no one needs bleach. Everyone thinks they do, but do not. Just because it will kill everything, does not mean it is necessary. If nothing got cleaned, the virus lives on untreated surfaces for about two days and is then gone. Soap will kill the virus whether it is on your hands or any surface you would clean. Misinformation is dangerous and leads to the hoarding you are describing. My reading comprehension is fine. You were the one describing two different uses, one for using it on surfaces and one for "disinfecting water". If referring to disinfecting water, that would imply you are worried about the water being contaminated. Outside of a terrorist plot, coronavirus will not get into the water supply. If you want to add something to the water to disinfect a surface, that would be covered by the other possibility you mentioned. Not sure why you are so offended
