Hi Guys,
I have just had a quick look through the forum and I find the different mixtures listed interesting. While I understand the impressive results delivered by sodium hypochlorite based solutions, I think it is worth noting there are some significant downsides to this approach. 1. Sodium Hypochlorite does not kill spores, just discolors them, this is why surfaces cleaned with bleach products return to a green / black / brown color within weeks after cleaning, providing the conditions are right for growth (humidity, temperature, source, etc..) 2. Sodium Hypochlorite causes corrosion, tacks, nails, screws, gutters etc.. damaging the property. (

The run off of the chemical burns plants, grass etc..., 4. odor - bleach is not good for the nostrils, don't know about you, but I love going home to smell dinner on the table. A couple of years of working with bleach on a regular basis and you won't! 5. Uniforms. Sodium hypochlorite hates colored clothing!
There are other options out there which, mitigate these draw backs of our beloved bleach. And your customers will love you for looking at them!
