This chart was created by the Disinfection Workgroup led by the Washington State Department of Health.

Background:
Sodium hypochlorite is the active ingredient in household bleach or chlorine bleach. It is economical, and is an effective disinfectant with a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity. It has been the primary disinfectant used in early learning programs in Washington State for more than
30 years. During this time, most household chlorine bleach was available at strengths of 5.25-6.25%.

The recommended concentration for disinfection has been 600-800 ppm of chlorine bleach and 50 to 200 parts per million (ppm)for sanitizing. ---CONTINUED---
