The bleach and water idea is okay (personally I am completely against chlorine bleach because it's dangerous to both humans and the environment in many ways) but please read your dish soap label which clearly states: 'DO NOT MIX WITH BLEACH'!
The majority of people do combine them and have been safe but it can cause dangerous noxious fumes because of the combination of the dish soap ingredients when added to bleach and really not worth taking the risk.
And all health departments recommend only using one teaspoon or one tablespoon of bleach per gallon of water to disinfect but 'after' washing with soap and water and 'after' rinsing off the soap.
Its says to use laundry soap which I assume is fine since you can use bleach in laundry.
She used laundry soap.
Using dish detergent in this recipe is dangerous, however, I use laundry detergent since you use it with bleach.
Sounds like a good idea. Don't know why I didn't think of this, it's so simple.
I think it's a great idea too. Hey, can you give us the address for the Internet Scrabble Club? Sounds like fun.
The clorox website has recipes for all household cleaning. I do believe the clorox breaks down and can't be held longer than 24 hours.
To get the right concentration of bleach comparable to the 1.84% on the Clorox Cleanup bottle, you'll need to use about a cup of CONCENTRATED bleach for a 700ml container. The concentrated bleach has about 6% bleach. This would be a little more concentrated than the Clorox Cleanup concentration, but its very similar.
*Maybe this will help. Add the laundry detergent last so when you add the water it does not bubble out the top and take up the space for the rest of the water.

Is there any reason why I can't just mix bleach with like dish soap and water or Windex and make my own? I love that stuff but gets pricey using it.
I live in an area of TX that is extremely prone to mold and mildew. The best thing I've used so far to combat & kill these is Clorox cleanup.
