[@FieldOfFocus]

I do like Hypochlorous acid but the only downside is the long sit time which might be hard to achieve between your clients. Lysol wipes do have a very short wait time... maybe look at those for times when you have a short time between clients. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!

@@FieldOfFocus: I have a weird question. It’s VERY interesting that there were substantial bacterial colonies left in the bathroom sink of all places. Do you think it’s possible that it was beneficial bacteria? I’m just curious of your thoughts? Sorry if that’s a gross question, but there are two reasons why I wonder this: 1. There are both good AND bad bacteria in the mouth (as we know) and the bathroom sink is where we brush our teeth and such so obviously you spit in it (at least when you brush and rinse), right? Well, peroxide, as it’s made by the beneficial bacteria in the body/gut to kill dysbiotic/pathogenic cultures, probably will not kill good bacteria because it’s not made to do so. So could it be possible that the cultures in the sink that it would NOT kill were the beneficial ones?🤔 2. I used to use peroxide as a mouthwash (just a drop of it with water and swished), but soon started to question if it was killing off too many of the good cultures in my mouth and NOW (because of this video) I’m wondering if I was wrong?🤔 Again, just curious of your thoughts?

[@FieldOfFocus]

Great thoughts!! It is possible that the beneficial mouth bacteria is still there! I think it is a good thing to think about. I have considered attempting to identify the bacteria.. that is something I might tackle this summer. I would have a little more time to dedicate to testing out if I can identify bacteria. Super interesting thoughts! I appreciate your comments!

Thank you for the suggestion! Any particular ways you would like to see it tested?

[@kashkash9472]

Great video, just wanted to point out that the moving painters tape probably contaminated your bathroom sink dish sample. The tape moved and you dabbed the paper towel on the surface under the tape(obviously unintentionally while you were just trying to dry the intended swab area) and then redabbed the same towel on the same side of the towel on the surface that you swabbed for the sample. I'm no doctor but to me it seems clear, that this is the source of the bacteria in the A-region of the bathroom sink dish. It cant really be assumed that the surface under the tape was uniformly coated with peroxide, and/or for the same amount of time as the intended test surface. Unless of course you resprayed the area off-camera, after the tape moved, then that would obviously change my opinion. Regardless! Glad I saw this, I've never seen this before.

[@FieldOfFocus]

Thanks for watching and the comment. I have a love -hate relationship with that marking tape!! It is nice to show viewers the spot I am testing, but in a slippery sink it is just not feasible to keep it in place! I stopped using it in the sink for my other videos. Thanks for your thoughts!

Just discovered your channel and finding it so worthwhile! H2O2 seems to work better on dry surfaces. For AFTER samples, what if you were to first wipe it dry with a paper towel (with or w/o H2O2), then spray with H2O2? Do you think that would make a difference?

[@FieldOfFocus]

Interesting point! I am not sure if wet vs dry surfaces would show any difference! When I circle back to re-testing, I will consider this! Thank you for the suggestion and for watching!

[@stupaod]

H202 works best at killing spores or weakening an infection in the human body to better allow the immune system to deal with it. Its actually quite poor against living fungus or bacteria. It will stunt them but they come back with no long term damage.

I was just thinking about this video and I remembered reading elsewhere that hydrogen peroxide reacts with a lot of metals and it led me to wonder if it might break down more quickly on some metal surfaces as well. Just wondering if that seems plausible to you. In that case, I wonder if it might help to come back and spray the area again after 5 minutes or to use a 6% concentration on those surfaces. Edit: I realize your bathroom sink isn't metal, but I thought you may have swabbed the outer part of the drain. It's a bit hard to tell in the video.

[@FieldOfFocus]

Interesting thought. I will look into H2O2 and reactions with metal... Always good to consider every possibility! Thanks for watching!!

[@grinning_owl]

Were the swabs, painter's tape, wiping towel, spray bottle, your hands, and the collection tray sterilized before you began collecting the samples? Any bacteria on those will affect the results of both the before and after samples. In addition, the ambient air in the room and your breath can also contaminate the immediate environment. Also, any particles in the air coming from an A/C vent would be a variable. It would be interesting to see the results after performing the same test over the course of several days.

[@FieldOfFocus]

The swabs are sterile and are purchased sterile, I wash my hands before each swab.. but this is my home not a lab... . I have a disclaimer in the description section " *******DISCLAIMER: All of the bacterial experiments that I perform are conducted in my home which does not have the same conditions as a laboratory, and is for entertainment only.*******" I am conducting these experiments in my home, not a sterile controlled lab. Take what you want leave what you want. Thanks for watching and commenting, I appreciate your concern and wish I could have a lab in my home, but that just isn't my reality. I can perform the same test over a few days and will add that to my viewer request list. Right now I have about 60 requests so will do my best!

[@grinning_owl]

@@FieldOfFocus Thanks for telling me about the disclaimer. I didn't see it before. My post was not intended to discredit your tests, but merely to point out a few variables that would affect the outcome. I think it's great you did this. Even though it was not done in a lab, it proves that no matter how clean we believe our homes are, bacteria can be found everywhere, with some areas being worse than others. After I watched your video, I went to the kitchen to set up our coffee maker. As I was doing so, your video was fresh in my memory, so I grabbed a Lysol wipe and thoroughly wiped down that whole area. It also moved me to wonder how we even manage to survive with so much bacteria covering everything around us. Some say some bacteria is good while other kinds are harmful, especially when it comes to bacteria in our mouths. It's just too bad they are not visible to the naked eye....like color-coded or something. LOL But then again, that would probably just freak us all out. I wonder if God thought so, as well, when He was creating them. Hmmmm

[@FieldOfFocus]

@@grinning_owl I agree! Some bacteria is good for us (gut bacteria) some are harmful.. so keeping a balance is best. I can't imagine if we could see the bacteria! That would be a riot and I think people would be horrified of where it turns up!! HA!

Das Wasserstoffperoxid zerfällt zu Wasser und Sauerstoff. Der Sauerstoff reagiert mit den pathogenen Bakterien in ihrer entzündeten Wunde. Die Bakterienhüllen zerreißen dabei und das Bakterium ist tot. Der entstehende Sauerstoff bildet kleine Schaumblasen.

Wasserstoffperoxid zerfällt bei der Wirkung zu Wasser und Sauerstoff. Kennen sie etwas, was umweltfreundlicher ist? Ich kenne jedenfalls nichts, was besser ist. Verdünnen sie 35 % oder 12% mit destilliertem Wasser und sie erhalten billig ihre gewünschte Konzentration. Zur Flächenreinigung können sie stabilisiertes H2O2 benutzen. Wasserstoffperoxid zerfällt schnell und die Wirkung nimmt irgendwann ab. Deshalb sollte man es nur eine begrenzte Zeit aufbewahren. Sie können es auch 3% in einen geeigneten Ultrschall Luftvernebler füllen und die Luft damit desinfizieren, oder einatmen bei Atemwegsinfekten. Beim Einatmen mit einer geringeren Konzentration beginnen als 3% und vorsichtig probieren, ob sie 3% vertragen. Man sollte immer mit geringer Konzentration beginnen und nach oben testen! Ich weiß nichts, wofür man 35 % Wasserstoffperoxid ohne es zu verdünnen, im Haushalt verwenden sollte. 35% verwenden bei uns die Jäger für Tierfelle.

[@uteschneider3349]

Warum legen sie den Schwamm nicht in Wasserstoffperoxid?

[@Z-Ack]

How do different areas make any difference unless the surfaces are of different porosity? Just saying to allow product to absorb into or not... like ive heard that if you have moldy wood then bleach will only clean the surface but will still continue to mold from spores inside. But peroxide will actually get into those areas where the mold did and kill it.. but a plastic or melamine surface will be the same surface no matter where it is. Only some places it will have more bacterial growth than others.. so these different tests will only be clarification onto which types of bacteria peroxide will kill in the 5 minute window.. unless the bacteria are determined these tests will go on and seem to have mixed results throughout your testing even if you tested the same area over and over, each would be different unless you managed to get the same type of bacteria in the same areas every time..

[@FieldOfFocus]

Hi there! So various areas in the home have different type of bacteria on them. Example in the bathroom the toilet would have more exposure to E.Coli (from fecal matter) and perhaps the kitchen has more exposure to salmonella (chicken and eggs) etc. You make a great point that various surfaces do have different levels of being porous, which most certainly could impact the bacteria there. For my channel I do have this disclaimer on every video “DISCLAIMER: All of the bacterial experiments that I perform are conducted in my home which does not have the same conditions as a laboratory, and is for entertainment only.” I am not trying to replicate a laboratory setting where we get a vial of B.Subtilis and inoculate a surface then test a cleaner. I am testing how cleaners work in a real world setting of my home, which does not have the same controls that a lab (knowing the type of bacteria present) would have. I don’t have a way to test if a cleaner can be absorbed into wood to clean mold.. I just don’t. If I come up with a way to test that I will most certainly perform it. But for now, I am just testing household cleaners in real life situations where you do not know what types of bacteria are present. I appreciate your watching and commenting. Thank you.
