Which type of Bleach kills C-Diff
I finished my Clorox Healthcare bleach and cannot find any , everyone is out of stock. I have Costco Clorox performance bleach (the pack of 3). But C-Diff is not on the list of bacteria that it can kill (the list on the container). it says it kills 99.9 % of germs. Does it kill C-Diff? If not, what is available in market to you use to clean the house and bathroom? What do you use?

Re: Which type of Bleach kills C-Diff
Clorox is only a brand name.
Anything that's is called bleach is exactly the same thing.

Re: Which type of Bleach kills C-Diff
I think there are different percentage of Sodium Hypochlorine and other ingredients? Is it the Sodium Hypochlorine that kills the germ?

Plain cheap bleach is better than ANY wipe!
Wipes dry in a few seconds but a surface MUST remain wet for 15 mins to kill c.diff spores.

Does Lysol kill it?

Re: Which type of Bleach kills C-Diff
It is my understanding that only bleach can kill C-Diff and you have to make sure it has certain % Sodium hydrochloride. If you mix it with water make sure at least over 1% of your mixed solution is Sodium Hydrochloride

Re: Which type of Bleach kills C-Diff
Lysol is a brand name and not all Lysol is the same.
If the container displays EPA Registration Number – 777-83 it will kill c.diff.
undiluted Houshold bleach is 5% Sodium Hydrochloride and should be mixed 1 part bleach to 9 parts water to give a solution of 0.5% Sodium Hydrochloride.
1% will kill c.diff but might cause additional health irritation and damage to surfaces.
