Killing Airborne Germies

Before working on a jar, I was trying to find a low cost spray to disinfect a work areas air content. I don't want to fork out the money for cans of Lysol and such, so I'm trying bleach and water (50/50) in a spray bottle on low mist.
Think that might work? Haha..sure made my bathroom smell..

Not really. A mister will not aerosolize the bleach solution enough to keep it suspended for a long enough period of time. Not to mention the fact that bleach will tend to ruin certain surfaces such as carpets or curtains. A can of Lysol at Wally Mart is under 4 dollars. That's lunch money.

i don't know how well that will work, but bleach is pretty strong so be careful of any towels or clothes or your shower curtain etc. And obviously be very careful with the solution getting in or on you.

And it should last you a while.

However, Lysol is a surface disinfectant. It won't do squat for the air. Bleach bombing helps, as would a room disinfectant such as Oust. However, build a glovebox and you need none of the above. RR

Yeah I have a cardboard box here and I'm constructing one now :-d But It'll be my first batch, so I'm being very precacious, dissenfecting as much of the room as possible AND using a glovebox.

uh dont' use 50/50 thats way to caustic. 10:1 bleach to water is as strong as it gets really same killing power as 100% bleach. won't smell as bad or fuck up your lungs
