    Default Potassium Permanganate as a sanitizer

    When you use pp as a sanitizer for your equipment do you want it in the 2-4 ppm or does it need to be higher?

    No bleach on the sponges... for them 1) boil for an hour or
    2) soak in waterrinse out all organic matter and microwave until steaming!

    like al said.

    Both PP and Bleach are oxidizers, both would be rough in a high dose on a sponge.
