Re: Does the MMS with Baking Soda need to be refrigerated?

Hello Red20,

Chlorine dioxide is very volatile. At warmer temperatures it tries to escape. Depending upon what conditions are like where you are, you may only see a slight drop in concentration, or you can see a large drop in concentration.

In order to figure out how this applies to you, you need to run some tests.

Mix up a batch and test the concentration of chlorine dioxide. Let it sit for a day and test again. Let it sit for a week and test again.

On the other hand if you mix it up fresh each day you start with about the same concentration each day.

If you mix up a weeks worth, or a months worth, at one time, it will be more stable if you keep it refrigerated.
