I'm looking online for detailed instructions on how to use hypoclorous acid to disinfect laundry -- especially sheets and bedding -- and I'm coming up empty.
I realize you can spray it on fabrics but I don't have space to spray entire bedsheets.
I'd like to add it directly to a laundry batch. I'm trying to find out how much to use. The HOCl I have is 200ppm.
Anyone here use it for laundry? 1/n
Cheap, safe, effective DIY disinfectant that I wish I knew about earlier: hypochlorous acid aka HOCl aka "electrolyzed water." Kills covid (all variants), mpox, RSV, norovirus, flu, bird flu, all flu, mold... More effective than bleach and also safe enough to be used on skin and inhaled into your lungs. I use it as nasal spray and mouthwash every time I leave the house, in addition to a bunch of other things I use it for.
For like 20 bucks, you can clip some alligator clips to a battery and two pencil graphites, stick the graphites in some water mixed with a little vinegar and salt, and make your own HOCl.

To buy a generator kit from her: https://ko-fi.com/s/cc2124e53b Amazon etc also sells far more expensive generators.
Developing chlorine-based antiseptic by electrolysis https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31905555/
> This paper examined the possibility of using hypochlorite water as a chlorine-based antiseptic for handwashing in public buildings and healthcare facilities. The electrolysis method was used, which produces Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) from mixing drinking water with small amounts of sodium hydroxide. Hypochlorous acid is usually produced by blood cells to surround pathogens when the skin is cut and exposed to pathogens. The methods used were based on hydrolysing drinking water at a different salt concentration (from 0 up to saline water 0.9% NaCl) under the different power supply. The results showed that 0.005-0.01% hydrochloride water can be a perfect antiseptic that can kill most bacteria and pathogenies within 12 s. In one prototype set up one litter of the prepared solution needed the only 2 g of NaCl, 12 V and 3 amps' power. However, the pH value should be maintained to be around 5-6. The results also showed that the most efficient way was to produce the solution on-site. However, if stored properly it can be used for 7-10 days after production.
