Chlorine hygiene spray? Make your own query

cjb02

I recently bought a chlorine hygiene spray from Lidl, which they now appear to have stopped selling. Very frustrating as it was very good at killing off black mold in the bathroom.

Does any one know if you can make your own using bleach, if so what quantities do you use or if not, can any one recommend another good chlorine spray

Thanks in advance

I just use neat bleach and leave it overnight, then rinse it off, it kills the lot.

I have tried that but it used an awful lot of bleach to do the tiles etc..., but when I tried the chlorine spray, it was easier to apply and used a minimal amount of liquid compared to putting bleach direct on (a quarter of the bottle). so in the long run I feel the spray is better value for money, However since LIDL have stopped selling the stuff, I would love to make it myself or get an effective alternative.

I've used milton (or shop own/£1 store variety) for sterilising since the boys were little, dilute as per bottle, I find it perfect for getting things clean and removing odours. Milton do a ready made spray but it's cheaper to dilute my own if I have a bottle. Highchairs, potty, toilet seat, sink, taps Don't usually use bleach as I've stained so many things with it.

My parents used to own a small snack bar and legally they had to spray everything down with a 10% bleach solution to sanitize.

I bought a spray bottle and make the same solution myself for pennies. Works great.

Sorry, I never said in a spray bottle

Thank you.

I think I am going to try the 10% bleach solution for the bathroom and also I never even thought about doing a milton spray!!! thats great for the kitchen.
