The Easy Way to Make Disinfectant Fluids at Home in 10 Minutes
Hi reader,
At the time of the Corona Virus outbreak that was sweeping the world, meant by Indonesia at this time, the Society was urged for self - protection and prevention so as not to be infected with the Corona Virus.
One way to maintain personal Hygiene and the environment in which they live.
The way that can be done by the community at this time is to sterilize the home environment by cleaning various furniture or which is often used by all residents of the house with Disinfectants.
If previously people were enthusiastic about making their own Hand Sanitizer, now it is also rife to make their own Disinfectants liquid.
Various ways to make Disinfectants fluid widely spread in Whasapp conversation groups or their social media.
There are those who use clothes bleach and some even use a floor cleaner.
Really do it like that ?
What should you pay attention to if you want to make your own Disinfectants?
Chemical Researcher from Indonesian Science (IPL), Dr.Joddy Arya Laksmono confirmed that the Disinfectant liquid can be made with liquid clothing bleach or floor cleaning.
"Based on the recommendations from WHO, that materials that can be used as disinfectants are ethanol and sodium hypochlorite (bleach). Most household bleach solutions contain 5 percent sodium hypochlorite (50000 bpja chlorine)," Joddy said
Joddy said, clothing bleach is the most powerful and effective material.
However, this ingredient ie easily deactivated if there are organic ingredients.
The active ingredient in the bleach liquid is sodium hypochlorite which has a variety of functions.
"Effectively killing bacterial,germs, and Viruses, including Influenza Viruses," He said.
How Do You Make It ??
As mentioned above, making Disinfectants liquids can use clothing bleach or floor cleaner.
How to ??
Made From A Mixture Of Bleach Clothing
Joddy said, the bleach liquid that is usually used every day can be dissolved with plain water.
With a ratio of 1 : 100
"The recommendations from WHO are as follows, 5 percent dilution of Sodium Hypochlorite in a ratio of 1 : 100 is usually recommended. Use 1 part bleach for 99 parts cold tap water (1 : 100 dilution) for surface disifectants," Joddy said.
This diluted bleach can disinfect in contact times 10 - 60 minutes.
Joddy said that it was very important to pay attention to the comparative dose of the use of bleach and water.
Attempted, the concentration of Sodium Hypochlorite that already exists is not too hight.
"Adjust the ratio of bleach and water according to the need to be able to achieve the appropriate concentration of Sodium Hypochlorite. for example, for bleach preparations containing 2,5 percent Sodium Hypochlorite, use twice as much whitening ingredients ie bleach ingredients for 98 parts water", Joddy explained.
Made From Mixed Floor Cleaning Liquid
Meanwhile, for floor cleaning liquid, the active ingredient is lower than bleach.
Therefore, pay attention to the composition of the mieture. He gave an example of a liquid floor cleaner that most of the ingredients are Pine Oil.
"From some literature sources states that pine oil can be used also as a disinfectants. Only, the active power is lower compared to whitening agents such as recommendations from WHO," said Joddy.
In order not to weaken the active power, to make disinfectants from this material, the ratio is not much different between floor cleaning fluid and water.
"The suggestion is simply that about 10 caps of a floor cleaning fluid are diluted with 1 liter of water. This is to get a minimum concentration of 0.5 precent of active ingredients namely monoterpenes to be effective as disinfectants," He explained.
To overcome the carbolic odor that is too strong and sometimes disliked by some people, Joddy suggests mixing other fragrance ingredients.
"For those who are sensitive to the smell of carbolic acid can be added with other natural fragrances such as lemongrass. so the water used to dilute the liquid floor cleaner is the water from the lemongrass stew", said Joddy
