D4,
I'm using Steramine at my warehouse. It's stored in a 1 gallon container, from which I'm filling spray bottles. At my warehouse, 1 gallon will last about a week, maybe less, when used in conjunction with other sanitizing products. Will definitely last longer at my home.
One seller on amazon.com contacted the manufacturer and posted the following:
"I contacted the manufacturer (Edwards-Councilor Co., Inc) they said they are in the process of getting EPA approval but were recommending 800 ppm (4 tablets) against COVID-19. I did not ask about contact time, however their other virucide labeling on their liquid steramine product indicates 625 ppm with a 10 min contact time against other pathogens, so it’s probably at least 10 minutes. They also said in a closed spray bottle the diluted steramine is good until it is gone, however in a wash sink or bucket it should be changed daily."
I used two tablets per gallon and the concoction is being stored in a sealed container. As the manufacturer said, it'll be shelf-stable until I use it all. I'll drop another couple of tablets into the since Edwards-Councilor Co., Inc recommended it to the person who contacted them. It isn't like Steramine is expensive and each bottle I have of it has 150 tablets. So, using 4 tablets per gallon instead of just two isn't a problem.
I'm not going to do a ten minute contact time since the label on the tablet container says just one minute. Instructions for other Steramine products may not necessarily apply to the mixture created from the tablets. Seems like each sanitizing product has its own instructions for how long it must remain in contact with something to disinfect it.
Clorox based products require X amount of contact time. Lysol products require Y amount of contact time. Glissen Nu-Foamicide requires Z amount of a contact time. Stermaine has its own amount of minimum contact time.
