200 ppm Bleach Calculator
Instant 200 ppm spray-bottle math with adjustable bleach strength and label downloads.
Supports milliliters, liters, ounces, and gallons. Enter any custom bottle size and the ppm math recalculates instantly.
Result
For 200 ppm using 6% bleach in 32 oz, add 3 mL of bleach, then top up with water to 32 oz.
For aqueous solutions, 1 ppm ≈ 1 mg/L. Volume needs solute density and source concentration to convert from mass.
How it works
Light cleaning and daycare wipe-downs often call for 200 ppm bleach. This preset opens on a 32 oz trigger bottle so you can scale to any bottle or switch bleach strength quickly.
Need higher strength? The bleach ppm calculator covers 500 and 1,000 ppm, too.
Every result includes an instant label download, QR code, and the copy-ready mix line you can stick on the bottle.
