Dilution Ratios
- High-Risk Conditions (1:100): Mix 10ml of SteriGENE per 1 Litre of water. Use this strength for deep cleaning, parvovirus precautions, or if an animal has been sick.
- Lower-Risk / General Purpose (1:200): Mix 5ml of SteriGENE per 1 Litre of water. Use this for everyday cleaning of floors, crates, and surfaces.
Application Steps
- Clear the Area: Remove your pets, their toys, and any loose debris or bowls from the area you want to clean.
- Apply the Solution: Spray, mop, or wipe the diluted mixture onto the surface.
- Leave to Air Dry: For the disinfectant to effectively kill bacteria, fungi, and viruses, it needs a bit of contact time. Let it sit and air dry naturally rather than wiping it off immediately.
- Return Pets: Once the surface is completely dry, it is perfectly safe to let your cats and dogs back into the area.
