I used to work in the medical field and we commonly used 10% bleach/water on almost everything. Don't remember anything fading from it, even the vinyl or painted surfaces. Your results may vary. No warranties express or implied. No purchase necessary. Limited time offer. See HKS for details. I'd test a small patch with whatever concentration you use. (It will also free your poptop of HIV, hepatitis B, and other bloodborne pathogens, or so they told us. As an added bonus, your Westy will smell so institutional!) --- Melissa Mourkas <legacy@JAVANET.COM> wrote: > Stefan: > > Many listmembers have recommended using a spray > bottle conatining a water > and bleach solution: obviously not a lot of > bleach, maybe 1 tbsp per spray > bottle(1 litre).
