The following table shows how much bleach is needed to make up different concentrations of disinfectant based on an initial concentration of 5% (most store bought bleach sold in North America is rated at 5.25% but loses strength with time).
Choose a container large enough to hold the final amount of diluted bleach you want to make.
Measure & pour into the container the amount of 5% (initial) chlorine bleach you need.
Fill the container with water to the level of the Final Volume.
If you are unfamiliar with millilitres (mL), you can use this Metric to American volume converter.
If you don't have the exact measuring tool round up, not down.

After searching online for 1000 ppm test strips, I found these at Indigo Instruments, and they were exactly what I needed, plus very reasonably priced! In an era where it is hard to find good customer service, I was pleasantly surprised when Chris answered all my questions, and made sure the product I ordered was what I was looking for! He was super helpful and knowledgeable. We received the product quickly and would not hesitate to order from Indigo again. Thanks, Indigo!
