    Add 30ml of thin bleach and 30ml of vinegar to 20L of water (never mix bleach and vinegar directly). It's fully scaleable if you need more or less.

    Factor in that this recipe relies on 5% bleach. If you're using something like Milton, then calculate based on Milton being only 2% bleach.

    I had just seen GEB restocking it (haven’t bought any) recently and assuring people not to lose the run of themselves as it was going to be constantly available from now on. But whether it be flour, bog roll, star san, you know the mentality of Irish people and shopping.

    I don't see any there. Is Chemsan the exact same?
