Working out the dilution rate for concentrated commercial cleaning chemicals can be difficult. correctly and accurately diluting cleaning chemicals with water is a skill that must be mastered.

Let's jump right in...

OK, so the label says 32:1 but how much water and how much cleaning chemical concentrate do you put in the bottle, bucket or cleaning machine tank?

a. Total amount of 'Ready to Use' or RTU cleaning chemical solution required is...
6 litres or 6000ml

b. Recommended dilution rate is...
1:32 or 32:1. That’s 33 parts… 1 part of chemical and 32 parts of water. It’s important that you always add the 2 dilution ratio numbers together for the calculation below!

c. Ready for some magical cleaning chemical dilution maths?
Divide the total amount of solution required (1. 6L or 6000ml) by... the total number of dilution ratio parts (33) and that will equal how much cleaning chemical you need in your bucket.

d. The maths looks like this....
6L or 6000ml / (divided by) 33 parts = (equals) 0.182L or 182ml of cleaning chemical concentrate.
