Make your own disinfectant

USING disinfectant to keep our surroundings virus-free and hygienic during this Covid-19 pandemic has become standard practice at home and the workplace. While commercial disinfectants are available, you can actually make your own from household liquid bleach.

Most household liquid bleach contain 5% to 7% of a corrosive chemical substance called sodium hypochlorite. At this concentration, the chemical can be irritating to the skin and eyes so extra care must be taken to dilute the bleach for surface disinfection purposes.
