I have a dumb question about dilution ratio 10:1 and 20:1 for a 32 ounce bottle how do I do it exactly?
No question is dumb thought to answer your question to make a dillution ratio of 10:1 you will want to mix 2.9 ounces of product with 29.1 ounces of water as for 20:1 you will want to mix 1:5 ounces of product with 30.5 oz of water
You don't have to fill the bottle up all the way. For 1:20 ratio, I'll just mix up 21 oz. at a time (1 oz. product and 20 oz. water). For a 1:10 I might do 2.5 oz. product to 25 oz. water to get 27.5 oz. total. KISS - Keep It Simple Simon (credit to Mike Phillips)
Awesome thanks guys I appreciate the advice so what about other ratios? I know on the spray bottle it has markings of 10:1 and so on and at the very top it says 32 ounces so would I feel the product to the 10:1 mark and the rest will be water to the 32 ounce mark?
Are you referring to those bottles that have the ounces label on the side of them if so all you have to do is put the water in first and pour the product in last(to lessen the amount of suds) for example a 10:1 ratio you would fill the water up to the 29 ounce
mark then you will want to add the 2 ounces of product

This brings up a question I have always had. I am a chemist by training, so I tend to be more exact than I should be. Let's say water:X should be 10:1. Does that mean I add 1 oz. of X, then 9 oz. of water to bring the total solution to 10 oz.? Or do I add 1 oz. of X, then 10 oz. of water. Probably not a big deal in a 10:1 situation, but in a 2:1 or 3:1 situation, it would be a bigger deal.
