USING YOUR SPRAYER FOR DISINFECTING
Cleaning regularly is essential to keep viruses at bay. Here are some tips when using your sprayer for disinfection and sanitation.
DEEP CLEAN FIRST
Clean all surfaces and areas first to remove dirt, dust, and debris to ensure maximum effectiveness of the disinfectant once applied. If you’re not using a specific bleach or industrial sprayer, you can use disinfectant mixtures.
CONSISTENT SPRAY
A consistent, controlled spray is essential to effective disinfecting. There should be no run off or waste of the solution. An adjustable nozzle will give you the control you need, along with the length of the wand used. Complete and even coverage is important. Pay attention to how you hold the wand and spray back and forth evenly.
CHEMICAL SOLUTION
Follow the manufacturer mixing and cleaning instructions and remember to completely rinse out your sprayer after use to keep the seals in working order.
LARGE AREAS
Our battery-operated sanitizing sprayer with adjustable nozzle is ideal for larger areas. The adjustable nozzle allows not only even surface coverage, but the ability to switch to a coarse spray for removing extra dirt and debris.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
As with any chemical or piece of equipment, please make sure you’re wearing the appropriate protective gear and following all manufacturer instructions.

CDC: How to Clean and Disinfect
Use this link for the full section on cleaning and disinfecting, as well as the link to the list of EPA-registered household disinfectants.
Hard (Non-porous) Surfaces
- If surfaces are dirty, they should be cleaned using a detergent or soap and water prior to disinfection.
- For disinfection, most common EPA-registered household disinfectants should be effective.
- Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for all cleaning and disinfection products for concentration, application method and contact time, etc.
- Additionally, diluted household bleach solutions (at least 1000ppm sodium hypochlorite) can be used if appropriate for the surface. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for application, ensuring a contact time of at least 1 minute, and allowing proper ventilation during and after application.
- Check to ensure the product is not past its expiration date.
- Never mix household bleach with ammonia or any other cleanser.
- Unexpired household bleach will be effective against coronaviruses when properly diluted.
Soft (Porous) Surfaces
- For soft (porous) surfaces such as carpeted floor, rugs, and drapes, remove visible contamination if present and clean with appropriate cleaners indicated for use on these surfaces.
- After cleaning:
- If the items can be laundered, launder items in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions using the warmest appropriate water setting for the items and then dry items completely.
- Otherwise, use products that are EPA-approved for use against the virus that causes COVID-19 and that are suitable for porous surfaces
Prepare a bleach solution by mixing:
- 5 tablespoons (1/3 cup) bleach per gallon of water or
- 4 teaspoons bleach per quart of water
The BQ Bleach Maker Sprayer
Always have a steady supply of Bleach disinfectant (sodium hypochlorite) with the BQ Bleach Maker Sprayer. Portable, take it with you anywhere to sanitize, disinfect and deodorize surfaces at home or on -the-go.
Bleach-Maker Sprayer Technology
The core part of the Bleach-Maker Sprayer generator Is an electrolytic device (an electrode and a power supply) which generates sodium hypochlorite solution in about 6 minutes from water and a small amount of common table salt. This proven process has the advantages of easy access to raw materials (salt and water), stable operation (standard USB Charging cable), and pure products.
Chemical reaction process:
NaCL+H2O=NaCLO+H2↑
salt • water • electric = sodium hypochlorite • hydrogen
