Control III Disinfectant Dilution

This concentrate is some nasty stuff.  Please read and understand the dangers of handling this liquid and take precautions as needed.  The specifications can be found here and FAQs can be found here.  That being said, if diluted properly, this is a strong disinfectant and can be used when other easier solutions are not available.



The diluted solution works through prolonged contact - basically spray it on and let it sit for 10 minutes, or soak something in a bucket.  Note that once you mix a batch, it is only good for 2 weeks before it needs to be disposed.  A 32 oz (946mL) bottle such as below is a good option.



Two snippets of the label directions are below: 

 


Depending on what you are doing, make a dilution that is up to 1 oz (29.5735mL) per 1 gallon (128oz) of water.

If you are measuring in metric, a little math is needed to get the proper amount for a 32 oz spray bottle:
= mL per ounce * ounces per container / mL per gallon
= 29.5735 * 946 / 3785.41
when you do the math without rounding, you get
= 7.39338 mL per 32 ounce spray bottle

Since I'm not operating in a hospital, I generally round down and use 3.5mL to 7mL per 32oz spray bottle, measured in a graduated cylinder...
