NOTE: For disinfection, use full strength or mix 1 cup per ½ gallon of water and apply on hard, nonporous surfaces with a clean sponge or cloth. Allow surface to remain visibly wet for 10 minutes, then rinse. For visibly soiled surfaces, preclean surfaces before disinfecting. To ensure stability, prepare solutions daily.
With an improved concentrated formula that is 2x as strong* to last 2x as long*, you can use less for the same great clean.
