No, I don't, because if you did my Luddite mind would get a very serious case of MEGO, aka My Eyes Glaze Over. :laugh:

I just found out that bleach in a spray bottle makes for an amazing room deodoriser.  The house smells a little like a swimming bath now, but it's a refreshing, pleasant smell, not like the bitter, gagging stench that comes from commercial 'air fresheners'.

I mix it 50/50 with water so it isn't as harsh on things it's great for pet smells

You would have to be careful not to spray it near soft furnishings, like sofas or curtains.

 :o :o

You mean 50% laundry bleach (5.25% sodium hypochlorite) and 50% water?

Doesn't that bleach out whatever you spray it on?

A tablespoon of laundry bleach in a quart of water is sufficient to disinfect diaper changing areas or bathrooms, but it needs to be made fresh daily.  That is about 200 parts per million.

A tablespoon of laundry bleach in a gallon of water is sufficient to disinfect eating areas or toys that kids might put into their mouths.  That is about 50 parts per million.

Yeah, I'm picturing everything in the room having little white or orange spots on it.   :laugh:
it is well known that PMS Elle is evil.
I think you'd fit in a 12" or at least a 16" firework mortar
You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.

OK, so your post helps SG, what about the rest of us :P

Thanks for the info Callaway.  I forgot how good you are with the chemical questions.  No one seems to ask them anymore  :(

I use it mainly in the basement the cats for some reason really like my work shop not much to wreak down there.  I also use it on stuff I am going to resell that's wood if it smells before putting a finish on it

My daughter said, today (while doing her homework), over one of those long wordy problems about how much money it would take to do stuff for certain projects, "Dad, these problems are really hard! It's just like algebra. I'm in the first grade and there making me do algebra. Don't you think that's a little weird?"
:D

She's in an advanced class, yes, but she is also mimicking the tone of her older brother's complaints about his surprisingly difficult algebra problems. I'm just pleased to see that she recognizes it for what it is.
