Thanks Kirsty,

Yes, I too have reservations about using borax for treating my cat enclosure.

I think DE is most useful given in feed to remove parasites and in stored animal feeds to prevent insect infestation.

I guess the MMS flakes mean I can make up any strength I want, so at the moment that appeals to me ) Will keep the contact details from your supplier on hand though, as you never know I might need it some time.

The room treatment you did sounds like an excellent result.

Animal keepers and pet owners are faced with the dilemma of disinfecting and

cleaning all animal spaces while at the same time causing no harm to the animals

themselves, and the people who work there. Most deaths of pets are premature and

unnecessary, according to many veterinarians .

The best answer to date has been to remove pets from their enclosures, scrub the

habitat clean, and treat the enclosure with one of a number of nasty (and often

expensive) chemicals. It is then necessary to wash everything down, and hope

that there is no dangerous contamination lingering from either the pathogens or

the disinfectant. The issue is that disinfectants are generally toxic; most good

disinfectants are not safe to use around pets.

The newest approach involves the use of Stabilized Chlorine Dioxide. Chlorine

dioxide is a truly remarkable substance.!It is a fast acting broad spectrum

disinfectant that also destroys almost all of the `bad' bugs on contact!It is

difficult to get the performance from other products while still having safety

for pets who may be sensitive to more toxic chemicals.. it is extremely

powerful, killing bacteria, viruses and fungi. Chlorine Dioxide creates no

harmful odors; in fact it is an excellent deodorizer.

Chlorine Dioxide's chemistry is radically different to that of chlorine by

itself. Both products are oxidizing agents. But, because of their fundamentally

different chemistry they react in distinct ways with organic compounds, and as a

result, generate very different byproducts. Chlorine dioxide does not affect

cell walls (which is why it is safe to use around living things), while chlorine

tends to react with organic matter by attacking cell walls and creating toxic

and carcinogenic byproducts.) Chlorine Dioxide disassembles organic compounds

rendering them harmless. It is this difference that explains the superior

performance of chlorine dioxide.

The anti-microbial efficacy of chlorine dioxide against bacteria, fungi, viruses

and protozoa has been repeatedly demonstrated and documented. It has a low

toxicity, as verified by the EPA, is not harsh to you, the environment, or your

pets. Chlorine Dioxide is a natural anti-inflammatory, along with the

disinfecting properties, making it useful for wound treatment. Veterinarians

have found that a mixture of chlorine dioxide and aloe vera is a safe and good

approach to healing incisions and wounds. Chlorine Dioxide t is the one true

deodorizer for pet owners, one which will eliminate odor, protect the

environment, and cause no harm to the owner or his pets. As a product

registered by the Environmental Protection Agency to be safe, harmless to pets

and people, hypoallergenic, biodegradable, non-staining, non-bleaching, you can

know you have selected the best product on the market for you and your pet.

Basic question. I have a bottle of MMS.

How, specifically, do I mix it and with how much water to wash the floor or

clean places I need to disinfect?

How about how much should I use in my rug cleaner for a stinky rug?

Peanut

PS To the Moderator, I don't know if it is ok or not to include personal

business sites at the end of a post. One is for a cd we have done and the other

is for my husbands photography. Do let me know. thanks.

I use 5 activated drops for each gallon of water for floors countertops, ect. In

the fogger I use 10 drops activated to each gallon, but I leave the room.

Hello Peanut.

MMS is a 22.4% sodium chlorite solution that can be dangerous to handle. I

recommend diluting it down to a 5% concentration for safety.

To make a 5% concentration put 55.8 ml into a container and add enough water to

make 250 ml total. Now you have 250 ml of 5% sodium chlorite.

Chlorine dioxide is not a detergent. Clean your floors and rugs first, then

deodorize and sanitize using a chlorine dioxide solution.

To make up a sanitizing spray, in a glass put 10 ml of 5% sodium chlorite and

add 10 ml of 10% citric acid. Swirl to mix and let that activate for 10

minutes. Pour this into a spray bottle and add enough water to make 500 ml.

Spray as needed on counters and on the floor.

This can also be used to spray " hot spots " in your rug. We have been trying a

little different solution on rugs with the idea to protect them from long term

mildew or mold. This solution is made by adding 16 ml of 5% sodium chlorite to

1 liter of water for synthetic material, or 8 ml of 5% sodium chlorite to 1

liter of water for natural material. This solution is put into a rug machine

and worked into the rug after the rug has been cleaned.

The problem with this method is that if you spill a low PH fluid like vinegar,

cola, or lemon juice on the rug, there is a possibility of bleaching the color

from the rug. While we have not experienced this, it is a possibility. You can

reduce the amount of sodium chlorite down to 4 ml of the 5% per liter of water,

but this may not be totally effective. This part is still a work in progress so

use as your own risk.
