    Chlorhexidine Mixtures?

    Hi everyone - quick sanitizer question.

    I purchased a gallon of Chlorhexidine (the generic AgraLabs blue version) and have been using it mixed 1/2 fl oz to 32oz of water. That adds up to 2 ounces per gallon, which the bottle lists as "equipment washing strength" which requires a water-rise for any food-service items.

    I've been using this solution on enclosures, furniture, and water bowls. Everything except the enclosure gets a water-rinse before use.

    Am I doing this correctly? - what strength are most of you using?

    TIA

    Cause when push comes to shove you taste what you're made of
    You might bend, till you break cause its all you can take
    On your knees you look up decide you've had enough
    You get mad you get strong wipe your hands shake it off
    Then you Stand
