Making a 1% Solution by Weight or Volume

Question:
How do you make up a 1% solution of cleaner?

Answer:
To make a 1% solution of powdered detergent such as Alconox or Tergazyme, you can make your solutions by weight or by volume. To make solutions by weight add either 1.28 dry ounces of powder to 1 gallon of water, or add 10 grams of powder to 1 liter of water. Alternatively, you can add a heaping 1 ounce scoop (a large coffee measuring scoop typically works) to 1 gallon of water, or add 2 level teaspoons of powder to 1 liter of water. Mix gently for 1-2 minutes until all of the powder is dissolved. To make a 1% solution of a liquid detergent such as Liquinox or Citranox, you can make these by weight or by volume. To make solutions by weight add either 1.28 ounces of liquid to 1 gallon of water, or add 10 grams of powder to 1 liter of water. Alternatively to make solutions by volume, add 1.28 fluid ounces of liquid to 1 gallon of water or 10 ml of liquid added to 1 liter of water, and mix gently for 10-15 seconds. All of these techniques will make approximately a 1% solution for effective cleaning.
