RECIPE:
Unscented household bleach (sodium hypochlorite solution 5.25%, avoid more concentrated versions).
Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)
A pan with a lid
Sterile measuring cup and spoon (sterilize by boiling)
Sterile canning jar and lid (sterilize by boiling)

Of course, wash your hands beforehand, just as you would with any medical procedure. Then:

1. Put 4 cups (32 ounces) of water into the pan and cover with the lid.

2. Boil the water for 15 minutes with the lid on.

3. Remove from the heat source.

4. Use the sterile spoon to add ½ teaspoon of baking soda to the water.

5. Add bleach (sodium hypochlorite 5.25%) in the amount needed (see below).

6. Pour into sterile canning jar and close with a sterile lid.

7. Label and store in a dark place.

The amount of sodium hypochlorite to add: (wound care for wet-to dry dressing use full or half strength, longterm wounds use 1/4 or 1/8 strength)

Full Strength (0.5%): 95 ml (about 3 oz. or 6 tablespoons)

Half Strength (0.25%): 48 ml (3 tablespoons plus ½ teaspoon)

1/4 Strength (0.125%): 24 ml (1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons)

1/8 Strength (0.0625%): 12 ml (2 ½ teaspoons)

Note: 3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon = 14.7 ml; 2 tablespoons = 1 US ounce = 29.5 ml
