[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 586502, member: 1233"] When cleaning up after the septic system problems, remember that you do NOT need a lot of bleach to disinfect. Rinse so that visible solids are gone, spray a mixture of one tablespoon of bleach to one gallon of water on the area, let it sit for five minutes, then wipe down everything and rinse. Using more bleach will NOT mean things are cleaner, and using more bleach and not letting it sit for five minutes, or using other disinfecting chemicals and not letting it sit for five minutes before the final wipe out and rinse will mean you are not disinfecting. That five minutes is what kills the germs and what most people forget. Often the most effective clean uses the least elbow grease because you let the properly mixed solution kill the germs before you put the effort in. If what you have is full of grease, add a tablespoon of Dawn or other dishwashing liquid to the gallon of water/tablespoon of bleach. Septic systems are not fun when they need to be cleaned. Sorry.
