Hi everybody!
As I read many people using hypochlorite ("bleach") as a disinfectant against Covid-19, I should like to remind that hypochlorite is dangerous. It's the one chemical that kills most people in household accidents.
Percarbonate is a disinfectant too, bur not treacherous like hypochlorite. Where I live, it is sold as 0.5kg powder buckets. Odours and tensides are often added, alas.
Use it dilute in water or as a watery paste to disinfect items suspect of contamination.
