Ok, I have read around and found the following:
Iodophor is almost magical in its convenience: there's no waiting and no rinsing. Cleaning Iodophor does not clean. Use a cleanser such as TSP before sanitizing with Iodophor. Sanitizing Mix 1 ml per litre of cold water. You must use a syringe for accurate measurement. Use a spray bottle to coat equipment with solution. Shake off excess or allow equipment to drain. Do not rinse. Use the equipment. It's that easy! Cautions When in solution, Iodophor rapidly breaks down. Every time you use it, you must make a fresh solution. Not effective unless mixed accurately.
This says 1ml per litre...12 ml per 3 gallons. The bottle says 3/5oz for 3 gallons gives a 25ppm solution, so 1ml/litre should give a 17-18ppm solution....good enough?
The bottle also says soak things for 2 minutes, but this says no waiting, can we assume if 25ppm or so, a spray is all we need....no waiting?
When it says doesn't last long, how long is long? If I make some sanitizer for 1 batch and make another batch a few hours later, is it still good....will is maintain its viability as a sanitizer for 12 hours?
