Can I use a capful of bleach in hot soapy water to disinfect table tops etc.

As I have been unable to buy disinfectant or anti biological spray anywhere I am wondering whether I could wash kitchen cupboards and laminated counter tops with the above without damaging anything. I have a black speckled counter top and cream cupboards. Kardean floors. Can anyone help?

Don't add bleach to hot water, it breaks it down and it becomes useless.
This is a myth. Much perpetuated, but a myth.

I mix it with hot soapy water to clean my worktops. I haven't got very new or expensive worktops though. I clean my whole kitchen like this as DH has the most appalling grasp of food hygiene. Think bloody chicken cut up on work surfaces

15ml of bleach and 500ml of water in a spray bottle is the correct ratio for an antibacterial/ virus spray.

It needs 5 mins contact before wiping
