“MRSA, or Methicillin Resistant Staphycoccus Aureus, is responsible for a variety of infections that patients often acquire in the hospital. The sudden emergence of MRSA and other drug resistant bacteria may be due in part to over prescribing and overuse of antibiotics.”


I don’t think anything is bleach-resistant, though. If the public hot tub was problematic in terms of chlorine levels, there may be a lawsuit in the works.

Many employees of today are quick to complain if somebody is using unscented Clorox Bleach or Pine Sol too close to their work station.
Some are troubled if the landscaper is seen using RoundUp for weed control. They think the spray residue will be blown inside the building from windy conditions. Some just worry too much.

Certain hospitals may have changed their standard cleaning formulas to accommodate such complainers before OSHA gets their dander up and starts sniffing around for other violations.

Heat drastically reduces the effectiveness of bleach. IE: You don’t wash whites with bleach in hot water.

**************
Hot tubs don’t use chlorine as it evaporates very quickly when the water temp is 85 or above... Hot tubs use Bromine.
