Bleach Solution for Cleaning coop?

[Year of the Rooster]

What solution to you mix with water and bleach? Tomorrow I'd like to do a full scrub down of the the coop, starting early in the morning so that it has time to air out all afternoon. If not Bleach, then what other products could I use?

for medical disinfection the ratio is one part regular strength bleach to 9 partsWater. for a 10% bleach solution. At this level it is still considered caustic and must be handled with care.

A safer and more effective alternative is Oxine AH - it is 200x more effective than Clorox and can be sprayed around and even ON the animals without harm. It is even approved for use in the drinking water of organically raised animals. Here's an article on it:
