How do i make my own disinfectant spray?

Here's how to make disinfectant spray at home safely, with zero fluff:

●Bleach-Based Spray (For Bathrooms/High-Risk Areas)

•Mix:
1 cup bleach + 4 cups cold water in a spray bottle. (Hot water ruins bleach!)
•Shake: Swirl gently – no foaming.
•Use: Spray on sinks, toilets, doorknobs. Wait 6 minutes before wiping.
• Warn:
-- Never mix with vinegar/ammonia (deadly gas!).
-- Avoid fabrics, metals, wood – bleach eats them.

●Alcohol Spray (For Electronics/Quick Wipes)

•Mix:
1½ cups 70% isopropyl alcohol + ½ cup water. (Higher/lower % won’t kill germs!)
•Add (optional): 1 tsp dish soap for grimy surfaces.
•Use: Spray phones, keys, countertops. Wipe after 30 seconds.
• Danger:
Flammable! Keep away from stoves/outlets.

●Hydrogen Peroxide Spray (Kid/Pet-Friendly)

•Mix:
3% drugstore peroxide straight into a spray bottle. (No dilution needed!)
•Use: Toys, high chairs, pet bowls. Wait 1 minute → wipe.
•Note:
Works slower than bleach but no toxic fumes.
• Keep in dark bottle – light kills its power.

●What WON'T Work (Don't Bother)

Fake "Disinfectants" Why It Fails
Vinegar + water Only cleans dirt, doesn’t kill viruses.
Essential oils (tea tree, etc.) Smells nice, zero proven germ kill.
Vodka/booze Too weak (need 70% alcohol).

●Critical Rules for DIY Sprays

Label bottles – write “BLEACH MIX” or “ALCOHOL” + date.
Use within 24h – homemade sprays lose punch fast.
Test spots first – spray hidden area to check for damage.
Store out of sun – heat/light wrecks disinfectants.
