As stated earlier, you generally want no stronger than a 10% bleach solution, so 1 part bleach, 9 parts water. You want 10 minutes of wet contact time with the surface you are disinfecting, then rinse thoroughly.


If you don't feel comfortable with bleach, you can use any household disinfectant that contains quaternaries (amonium chloride). Look at the ingredients: you are looking for something to the effect of "dimethyl benzyl amonium chloride" or something to that effect. Usually disinfectants will list two different ammonium chloride componds, this is called a dual quaternary disinfectant. Just follow the directions on the label for the proper dilution to disinfect, rather than sanitize, and again, maintain a 10 minute wet contact time before rinsing.
