?? about Oxine in a spray bottle

[gale65]

I've read that chlorine mixed w/ water needs to be remixed every day because the chlorine part of it will dissipate or disintegrate or whatever. Is this also true of oxine? I want something I can just use the spray off latches and handles and such (for my own peace of mind) and I've been using lysol (only on the outside of the coop-never inside) but I want something that is safer. But I want to be able to mix up a bottle and just use it every so often without having to remix it daily or whatever.

Here is a thread that a lot was discussed in there

I personally mix a batch in a sprayer, nothing can evaporate because it's a sealed system. Just use it until it's gone then make a fresh batch. Oxine is an awesome product for disinfecting, we use it in our coops and runs...

thanks-do you use just a regular plastic sprayer like walmart sells?

I've seen them there in the garden dept. I use the kind that you pressurize the bottle before you spray. Like a "weed killer" bottle.
