Thanks for this good information. My original response to @Luanne was meant to be a helpful solution to her difficulty in acquiring travel wipes. My point was that if someone needed travel wipes but couldn't buy them, they could make their own which would work reasonably well.NO more is NOT better. There is a ratio for a reason!
I hope that you don't mistakenly take this the wrong way...But I didn't read anywhere that a higher bleach concentration would NOT kill the virus while a lower concentration WOULD. But I understand and appreciate issues like lung irritation, drying hands, skin issues, and white spots on clothing, etc. are all exacerbated with higher than recommended concentrations.
BTW, there is a product called Chlorox plus Tilex Mildew and Mold Remover. It is a common house hold spray meant to be squirted on surfaces directly and w/o dilution. The first time that I brought home groceries that needed to be sanitized, I chose that because it smelled like it had bleach in it. I just squirted it directly onto the plastic, or glass or metal and would wipe down the excess with a paper towel that was already damp with the same stuff. Then I'd let it air dry. No gloves ...afterwards I noticed that my hands seemed dryer than normal and they kind of stunk of bleach. Then I read the concentration and it was 2.4% sodium hypochlorate (sp?) compared to a 5 or 6% concentration in household bleach. Yikes! But, other than dry hands, no serious issues.
