bleach dunk ???

How much bleach should I add to a gallon of water for a bleach dunk?

1 tablespoon is plenty, no more.

The recommended ratio is 1:200. Since there are 128 ozs. to a US gallon then 128/200 = .64 oz.

1 oz. = 6 tsp x .64 = 3.84 or roughly 4 tsps. bleach.

Also a bleach dip is intended for a short time rather than several hours like a regular dunk.

Hope that helps.

more like 20 minutes, the bleach dissapates.
but you can make a fresh batch and hit it again.

since you say 1:200 ratio, does that matter, if it is regular (not sure exact percentage but i wanna say is like 3%) or ultra bleach(my bottle says 6%).
