Make sure you know your dilution ratios!
Overall, this product is great. When mixed with water it produces a blue-colour: similar to that of windex. However it doesn't have a strong odour, which is good! But this is something important! This quat sanitiser is the same type used in food service and healthcare settings. I have the pleasure of working in both as a barista and a lab tech. In the kitchen, the concentration is around 200-400ppm (1-2 tablets in 1 gallon) which is enough to kill food-borne illness causing bacteria within a minute of contact time. This is called SANITISING: it reduced the amount of bacteria and viruses but does NOT KILL ALL. Contact time is usually a minute or so for sanitising with this kind of product. In the lab, we are working with more sensitive fluids such as blood and bacteria samples, so disinfecting is a must. Disinfecting kills ALL bacteria and viruses but this requires a longer contact time of up to 10 minutes. Our go to is a quat solution (similar to the active ingredient in this, it's just premixed) that has a much higher ppm, usually 1000-2500ppm! At home, I did the math and calculated that you can use 1-2 of these tablets in 16oz of water for a ppm of between 1600 - 3200. My way is just to mix 1 and a half tablets of the product in 16oz of warm water. Shake it vigorously to dissolve. Spray on the surface and let it sit for a maximum of 10 minutes (No less than 3 mins) and wipe away with a clean and damp rag. Make sure you don't spray it on areas with prepared or open food such as a fruit basket or a cake stand. Move them before spraying down. In all, this product is awesome!
