They seemed to be OK with Bleach and water until people started mixing it with detergent and what not. So I think to be on the safe side they just stopped recommending Bleach. It was always Ok to cut the bleach at one capfull of bleach for every 4 litres of water (just under a gallon). People started making funky gas! ---

I have found the same as Jae no Bleach on all the courses I took I understand that Home Depot sells a product now . When I had a flood the insurance company had a cleaning company come in they had a product that the public can not but , The cleaner said the best thing for the public to use was Fantastic no bleach .

Roy, I believe what they’re using is MICROBAN. Yes the guy’s were also telling me that they are recommending Fantastic to the general public. ---

The courses I attended all suggested that we should use a mild surfactant. Around these parts that means \*\*“Dawn” \*\*dish soap. (P&G product–Cincinnati’s own) ---
