Testing how long MMS is viable

Hello ,

As I mentioned before you can verify this yourself. Just mix up a dose of MMS and leave it on the counter out of direct sunlight. When it turns clear, most of the chlorine dioxide is gone.

Hi Tom

I see where making the more dilute solution of what is, basically, AMMS would be very useful around the house. I know there are a few products with the 5% sodium chlorite--can't remember them off the top of my head but I remember people talking about them--mostly as oxygen products, when MMS was first introduced to us.

Still, I had no idea that this less concentrated solution would be viable for more than a few hours. You are saying it stays active so long as it's not set in the sunlight--as per Jim's warning against full light on a bottle of 28%. At least it should stay active for a few weeks, because you said make it up once a month?

Thanks for helping clear this up for me.

Samala,

The 28% concentration of sodium chlorite is dangerous to handle so I recommend diluting it down to a much safer 5% solution. If you want to make the sanitizing solution with 28% sodium chlorite you would use 38 drops of it (about 2.2 ml) and an equal portion of 10% citric acid.
