In regards to your dilution of bleach, I would suggest a 1 part bleach to 32 parts water (ie 1/2 cup to a gallon of water). Also would recommend rinsing to reduce any irritation to the respiratory tract (people and animals). Jerry Murray, DVM [Personal note from Sukie: having had a ferret who found and licked up one or two drops of bleach present with projectile vomiting with blood I also advise drying everything well afterwards.] [Posted in FML issue 3371]
