Any guidance on using it for a spray-on surface disinfectant? I'm thinking 10cc (1/3 oz) per gallon.

I always followed the ratio on the bottle with a bit extra for safety but making 10 or 15 gallons at a time. 1/3 oz. per gallon of tap water should work well.

Thanks. I'm mixing up some in my power-sprayer. Going to disinfect incoming mail and packages. Medical supplies are a particular concern as they're delivered by guys who go inside numerous homes on their routes.
We're thinking alike. I was thinking of misting my mail with it too.

I plan to use a crockpot for heat-sterilizing non-meltable items that are small enough to fit. It could be plugged in outside and items could be left to heat. No liquid, just dry heat to cook for a while.

Buckworks that is brilliant.
It was the research article about virus on cardboard that got Louise thinking about incoming packages, then mail. I just happened to buy Brad's disinfectant suggestion, you know ....just in case.
I get the mail with two plastic garbage bags in hand. Junk mail goes in one, keepers in the other. Both are sprayed inside the bag.
I plan to have boxes left on the front walk, even the heavy-ish medical supplies which are supposed to be carried inside by the delivery guy. I'll spray them there.

Thank you. Girl Guide ingenuity!
With this in mind I actually bought a new, larger crockpot which I had wanted for a long time anyhow. Never let a good crisis go to waste!
