Full strength. Since you have a CS maker, it'll cost less than any
other disinfectant you can buy.

I had a white laminate counter top at my previous home &
CS stained it plum-brown on the spots where I'd spilled. Evidently,
whatever particles did come in contact with the minute pores in the
laminate oxidized readily. (Ever seen tarnished silver jewelry? Same
color.)I would definitely try it on an inconspicuous area before pouring
it over the whole thing, unless it's black or some such. I eventually
had some luck removing the stains with peroxide, but only after much
repeated effort. Bleach, Soft Scrub, baking soda; all did NOT work. If
you have tiles with white grout, I suggest never letting it touch any
portion for aesthetic reasons.
