    A capfull is roughly a tablespoon.

    Nothing stops bleach. cold, hot, as long as it's recently mixed it's gonna kill stuff.

        Just what I learned in Boy scouts, from hunting guides, and working my way through college as a grill cook. I've heard hot water makes bleach less effective. I have no idea but was always taught hot soapy water to wash. Hottest water you can stand for rinse, and cold water for the bleach to be in. And I've measured it 1 cap on a standard gallon size bottle of bleach is one tablespoon. Also the cap on most bottles of salad dressing is also 1 TBSP makes for easy measuring if you are on a diet.

          Ahhh I see now...yes bleach does decompose pretty quick in hotter water... it won't "not work" but it won't work for long... how long? dunno. Soo yeah keep the sanitizing stuff cool.

            Different type of sterilization method........



            Water over 130 F will stop bleach very fast.. the chlorine volitalizes and you are left with hot water.

            Yes cold water works, however it takes a little longer to work cold. Between 80 and 110 F is most effective.

              Hence I have wondered why when I left my bottle of spray bleach water solution outside in the sun for a whole day or 2 that it does not even have a bleach smell at all to it anymore, meaning I rendered it ineffective I guess... I won't do that anymore.

              I use that to give the white plastic tables a once over after cleaning them.

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

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

                Thanks for the clarification. And that is why it explains why my knifes ended up with notches in them when my kid mixed up the sanitizing. Too much is as bad as too little.

                  Even in the best conditions 1.5 hours is all it is good for........ Food code requires us to mix new every hour in the commercial kitchen.

                    Bleach is one of the most disgusting smells there is, unless I'm allergic to it.
                    I can only stand it outside in the air.
                    It didn't take much of it to wash my whole log house before the first stain & oil finish it got, right after building.
                    I once walked out of a restaurant, after waiting 20 minutes for a breakfast I ordered, because they decided to mop the floor (including next to my table) with Clorox in the water. Figured it was better than barfing in their restaurant!

                      According to clorox bleach is the most effective sanitizer and also great for the environment as it breaks down to nothing but salt water. I have used it straight on stainless steel and never had pitting. You are only supposed to soak it in the proper mixture for a couple minutes. There is a lot of false info regarding bleach i would suggest going to clorox.com and read all the information. Also they have a contact email one can use to ask questions.
