The standard solution used in health care facilities for surface disinfection is a 1:10 solution of bleach and water (or a ~9% bleach solution). Some sources recommend discarding after one week, due to a breakdown in stability. For easy household mixing, add seven tablespoons of common household bleach to one quart of tap water.

How much bleach is needed to kill mold?
Bleach is effective on mold growing on non-porous surfaces, like glass or tiles. If you're looking at the mold or mildew in the bathroom, you should know that the grout in between the tiles is porous, and the bleach will only clean the surface of the grout. When you use bleach to kill mold on non-porous surfaces, dilute it with water first, about 1 cup of bleach to a gallon of water. Then you can either spray it on or wipe it on with a sponge. So for normal household amounts of mold, you don't need much bleach at all. Its important to wash off the bleached surfaces with clean water after as the bleach will exxect the surfaces and can bring about more issues. When clean dry with tissue so that you absorb the maximum amount of liquid thus limiting the cycle For porous surfaces and widespread mold growth, consider calling a mold remediation specialist. They will have the supplies and expertise to know what can be cleaned and what must be discarded for your health and safety.
