Beware of the efficacy of diluted mixtures after 24 hours.
I was pumped when I founded this product. 1 gallon can produce 32 gallons of diluted mixture!? Awesome. Just know that the product label states that it is best for a new diluted mixture to me made after 24 hours. This is probably due to the active chemical ingredients breaking down and becoming less effective - it's like a bleach mixture. But for those who intends to add this into a spray bottle, you can do a 1:32 oz spray bottle mixture 128 times. Obviously, if you cut down the mixture volume, you can probably squeeze more out of a gallon. Like, lets be honest though, how many of us would actually use up a full 32oz spray bottle in one day, and how many of us would actually make a new mixture every 24-hours? Probably not too many of us. As for the odor? It's not that strong. Almost citrusy in my opinion. How long does it take to sanitize? Leave the mixture on a non-porous surface for at least 60 seconds. How long does it take to disinfect? Leave it sitting for 10 minutes. The product label also states to not rinse any surface that has been cleansed with such product with potable water. Difference between Sanitizing and Disinfecting? Sanitizing is like using hand sanitizer. It can effectively kill/ weaken 99.99% of what ever germs this product's intention is to. Disinfecting is supposedly the absolute destruction of all harmful germs in the scope of whatever environment such product comes into contact to. But seriously guys, don't just take my word for it. If you were able to read my review, read the product label once you get the product since it is more detailed. UPDATE/ EDIT in regard to efficacy of mixture: Another reviewer has pointed out that the mixture does not need to be remade daily. But it really depends on how the label is interpreted. On the label itself, in the clause under "Directions for Restaurant and Bar Sanitizer", it states to, "Prepare a solution at 'least daily' or when use solution becomes visibly soiled." If you also do a quick google search and look up SunJoe, who is also a distributor of this Glissen product, their FAQ states that the EPA suggests that the solution be remade daily. I do not have comprehensive knowledge in chemistry, so whether or not a mixed solution in a spray container would hold its effectiveness after 24-hours is beyond me.
