WARNING
Household bleach is 5% or 6% sodium hypochlorite. When handling bleach,
which can be used as a cleaning and antiviral agent, wear protective clothing,

To prepare a 25% solution of household bleach, dilute one part of bleach with
three parts of clean distilled water, or clean deionized water. The prepared solution
is stable for one week when stored at room temperature.
