  • 1 TBS Bleach to 1 gal water?

    That just doesn't seem like enough to me.

    I know that's what they say in those food safety links for knives and cutting boards but that just seems weak.


    So what product do most you guys use for the SOAP water at competitions or catering events?

      For the soap tub, guess what............ we use dish soap, like Dawn. Bleach is great at killing germs and disinfectant, but it's not a cleaner. With the rinse water, we do add a bit of bleach and stir it around. Then we have a third tub with plain water as a final rinse.

        On camping trips I use the following...
        1. Hot soapy water using regular dishsoap
        2. hot water rinse
        3. Cold water/bleach disinfect. I use one capful of bleach per gallon of water.

          I have used peroxide a few times... much less toxic and breaks down faster in the environment as well.

            To much bleach is bad. As a caustic it can cause skin irritation and eat steel...especially your favorite knife.

                It don't take much bleach. From what i see when you add to dish soap it contour acts the bleach That why they have 3 sinks for commercial cleaning.

                  Bleach is not a Caustic......

                  Household bleach has water in it and is known as Hypochloric acid.

                    You are correct with the bleach amount. More then 10 percent solution and it does not work well. It is most reactive at 10 down to 3 percent.

                    It also does not work in water hotter than 110 F. It turns to water and chlorine gas.

                    You can mix bleach and soap. But bleach cannot cut grease or remove dirt. So the commercial process is set up to remove soil and grease first, then rinse, then bleach for the pathogen kill.

                        Hmmm... it's a base, Bob - no? A strong base...Sodium hypochlorite?

                          No it is an acid. Common misunderstanding but due to PH and the fact it is double acting is an acid not a caustic....

                          Sodium Hydroxide is the caustic version of Sodium... known as Caustic soda.

                          And a Potassium version would be Causti potash....

                              So, the cold water (under 110*) does not "kill" the sterilizing properties of bleach? ..... Also, I'm guessing 1 capful is less than 1 oz. of bleach, maybe 1/2 of 1 oz.?

                              Good stuff gentleman
