@@robinpauleota4773 I have to point out that master food preservers teaching people to dehydrate and can food use Steramine, as does the school kitchen staff where my friend worked for many years. It makes sense to me when processing lots of food for storage. Having a clean kitchen when processing food only protects those who later eat the food.
@@robinpauleota4773 Not a retired nurse here, but I don't understand what is so terrible about wanting a clean sink and refrigerator. Steramine is economical and thorough. Seems better than buying bottle after bottle of expensive, but less effective cleaners, wasting all of that plastic.

We as a society use too much of these chemicals. I for one never wash my hands unless I am cooking for others or if the toilet paper breaks. I use smokeless tobacco so I constantly put my fingers in my mouth. During the pandemic I wore a fake (see through) mask, purposely hung out with people that had COVID-19, went out to eat every day because I was laid off, I got COVID-19 three times and I feel it is boosted my immunity and made it not as harsh as the first time. The best immunity defense is to actually get the virus. I was one of those super duper spreaders YW for my experiments. I also started working on a ranch and when we used ivermectin on the cattle, it would always get on my hands so I rubbed it on my forearms; I believe it worked because I hung out with someone that had COVID-19 for a full week for two hours a day and never got the bug again. I can’t wait for the new mutations so I can proceed further with my experiments 😅

I went to cosmetology school in 1978 and we were taught to use QUATS (the 99.999% sanitizer) for our brushes, combs, sinks, countertops, etc.. It is still the standard for those uses. However, we are required by the cosmetology board to use a liquid form and dilute it for different applications. When I purchased these little tablets after you mentioned them in your last video, imagine my surprise and irritation because the liquid is so much more expensive. We are even required to use a certain brand called Barbicide. Thanks for the info, the airplane scenario is an eye opener. Glad you were able to slap that last germ off of your counter. Thanks Pam and Jim you are doing important work
Quat sanitizer is great stuff! It is versatile and can be used in different strengths for different applications. We used it in our restaurant and it was very easy to dispense using the Ecolab system.
Thanks so much for making things like this crystal clear! I had never heard of Steramine until you mentioned it on a previous video, but I ordered some right away. Pam, you and Jim are a huge blessing to all of us. Thank you for your diligence and hard work in making all these videos to educate us.
For anyone who has a Sam's membership, you can order it from them (I think it was $4.88 a bottle). I had to buy two bottles and pay $5 shipping, but you get twice as much as apposed to ordering on Amazon. I'm just going to give one of the bottles to my daughter. @Pam - thank you for this information. I love your video's ... always so informative.
I hope someday you realize how many people you've helped.waiting for the sister recipes to go with my book. A blessing to you and your favorite camera man. Thank you.
YES!! Steramine has been my go to long before recent issues in the news. Having a child who was born type 1 diabetic, who was on home dialysis and then had organ transplant surgery, being able to make sure all solid surfaces were sanitized gave me peace of mind. Pam your college students are so blessed to be learning from you!
I got my Steramine at Sam’s Club. You have to order online, and a minimum of 2 bottles, BUT they are $4.88 for 150 tablets so just under $10 for 300 tablets. I didn’t check their math, but shows $.03 a tablet.
I have to take a minute and tell you about the ad that just ran at 5:51 into this video. It was a promotion for a book called “The Lost Frontier Skills”. I find these collections of old ways interesting but this was shocking, and somewhat ironic that they showed how you can make meatballs from pork and rice, brown them, put them in hot jars from a 350 degree oven (to sterilize the jars) with one piece lids and boil them for 50 minutes to preserve them. Bring the water in the pot up most of the way up the jars but leave “some head space” in the pot. I reported the video ad for promoting unsafe canning practices. I’m blown away that this found its way onto your channel!
You are the greatest teacher. Made it so any dummy could understand. I never heard of this before untill you mentioned it on your work video. Thank you
I bought a bottle of Steramine after your last video and I love it! I have sensitivities to smell and so bleach is out for me, but Steramine smells amazing! And I love that it kills germs better than bleach! Thanks!
Thank you for explaining the differences between cleaning, sanitizing and disinfecting. My early work experiences were in hospitals and doctors' offices. When watching canning videos, it always rubs my fur the wrong direction when I hear someone say "I've sterilized my jars in the oven", or "My jars are heating up in the dishwasher, so they'll be sterilized."
You are a phenomenal teacher, RoseRed. It is such a relief to find your channel and thoughtful, scientific expertise. (I had sought clarity on oxygen abdorbers vs. dessicants for a long while. You finally provided the info I sought. It changed the way I will store rice.). I am buying these!
I've just ordered Steramine for delivery to my out-of-state, biomedical engineer trained daughter who has 3 littles under the age of 4. I'm sending the order receipt now WITH a link to this amazing, jaw-dropping video. LOVE the airplane analogy!!!!! THANK YOU so very much for this video! I return to it often.
Hi Pam and Jim! I really enjoy your videos and also the sense of humor you both have. Always a enlightening, educational or just fun time. Thanks for sharing and have a blessed day!
I just looked up the shelf life, 10 years. Another thing I learned is this is used in a 3 compartment sink so it’ll be useful for washing dishes in a grid down situation. Thank you for this video.
I began using it right after Pam spoke about it on a few of her previous videos. With clorax wipes going up in price this is so much more affordable! I love this stuff. An answer to my prayer. Mahalo!
Excellent Video, Pam! Because I watched your previous video about Steramine, I quickly ordered a 6 pack from Amazon! I’m so glad you give such GREAT information! Thank you for all you do to help us prepare!!
I homeschool my grandchildren so I want to make sure things are clean and germ free as possible. I love your channel and appreciate you for sharing your knowledge with us. I will be getting this. Thank you 😊
As a nurse of 38 yrs I understand the importance of disinfection. But I also understand that our obsession over the bad bacteria has eliminated the good bacteria and has led to a lot of the resistant bacteria we have and our lack of a good immune system. Bacteria doesn’t grow on a surface that is clean and dry. This is no different than taking antibiotics for everything and helping to create resistant strains.
I totally agree with you! I would however, like to add that using Steramine after a decidedly "dirty" task (raw meats, larger than normal exposure to other risks, etc), is a good thing to do. I just won't be using it for day to day cleaning.
It's an interesting point. I did a little research and have to admit a lot of it went over my head but it was a research paper on the potential environmental impact on the increased use of quaternary ammonium (steramine, I think) globally. It was interested in how it was interacting with soil microbes and aquatic life. It seems it is released in heavier quantities into the environment near hospitals. Anyway, the point that jumped out for me was the potential impact on sewer treatment because alongside killing bad bacteria it killed off the good bacteria that are an active part in the clearing process. Personally, I'm off grid for sewage and have a private mini water treatment plant. It takes our waste water and solids and treats it before releasing it into the ground. I live alongside a tidal estuary and so the treated water goes out into the tidal water. It's also a site of protected scientific interest, a protected habitat because of the mud flats, sand banks and associated wildlife, such as birds that gather and special plants that grow. So, the takeaway for me following my research was that I would buy steramine but use it with care and very sparingly, limiting it to times I wanted to ensure a really clean surface, such as when setting up a canning session. I won't let it go down my sink or toilet and won't compost any clothes used for wiping to protect the friendly bacteria in my compost heap.
@@UpthePottingShed but why use it at all? In a home there is no need for it. Wash and air dry any surface. Proper canning techniques kills bacteria. We are killing ourselves with all these chemicals. We are probably the most sanitized country in world and I constantly see patients with cancer and autoimmune conditions ever increasing. Our one hospital does about a dozen colonoscopies a week on children. Babies less than a year old with leukemia. Patients that tell me they are gluten sensitive but they go to Europe and can eat bread without any problems. We want to try to “science” everything. Scientists needs to get a little humility and use what they learn with caution because today’s science is tomorrow’s fallacy. There is just no reason to need this in a home environment if we could just use a little common sense instead of grabbing for a chemical.
@@UpthePottingShed look into hocl. you can make it at home with just salt and water and it is 100x more effective than bleech but is non toxic. it turns back into salt water after doing its job. it is used in dental offices, vet practices and wound care. I use it in my esthetics practice on those with rosacea or after a waxing to remove redness, and disinfect the skin.
Is it toxic...for pregnant women? 🤰 (Thinking about my pregnant Daughter-in-law). I've read that clorox, the fumes especially, will harm your thyroid gland. Case in point: I swam A LOT as a kid growing up in So. AZ and actually played down at the deep end of the pool where the chlorine tablets sat percolating. My thyroid gland is virtually shut down, non existent. I have had to supplement my thyroid gland since my child bearing years (1980s). 3 of our 7 kids are ALSO surviving on supplementation. It's not easy finding a physician that is willing to prescribe a good version of thyroid. Many resort to a synthetic, chemical copy (levo-rotary spin) that is not compatible with life. There's also the issue of converting T3>T4. It's life altering. Please enilighten us Pam, what is Steramine made of, or from?? Thanks 😊 so much. 😘
Gosh, I have never been concerned about germs and virus' unless I'm working with chicken or pork in the kitchen or make a mess of some sort, then I use soap and water LOL! I will say though that if there is a grid-down situation and I don't have hot water or ability to rinse, I did get some Steramine for that type of situation because you are so adamant about it so at least I have some if I need it but I've been cooking for 50yrs (yes I started pre-double digits!) and the only time I have gotten sick from food was from a restaurant. My husband and I haven't been sick since December of 2019, which we believe is when CV actually started circulating if not before then - and started boosting our immune system at that time, but either way. I appreciate how important it is to you and that's why I bought some, you're such an influencer!
Our plumber friend said its safer than bleach. As did the local water treatment plant manager. Which is why restaurants, medical establishments use it.
Your curls are back!! Yaaay🎉You look younger, and your skin looks brighter! Please don’t iron them,or brush them into submission anymore.🫣 🤭 From N.H., 👵🏻
I ordered a 2 pack of the steramine from Sam’s club a couple weeks ago. Love the idea of killing most all the cooties! Thank you both for all of this great info.
I wanted to share another thing I’ve learned in the past two years. The Clorox bleach that has the thickening in it for easy no splash pour,,,,doesn’t say anywhere on the bottle that it kills germs or disinfects. Only the Clorox regular liquid does. I just ordered the steramine ❤thank you so much
One of my peeves during covid was that when regular bleach was sold out, the stores doubled the "splashless" product. Several times I educated people in the bleach isle who were about to buy the wrong thing.
I've basically stopped using clorox altogether. I heard about the gas escaping too. Thanks for sharing this suggestion. I've been using the brown bottle of concentrate lysol disinfectant, but yours has mine beat in cost-effective, for sure.
Hi Pam and Jim. I researched Steramine tablets online because we don't have this product in Australia, and I was a bit confused because on all the websites selling the products they only say that it kills 99.9% of germs. I'm left scratching my head as to what I need to do to find the product you are using. Thanks for the video. Cheers from Oz! 🦘
Thanks, your explanation was wonderful as usual. I’m curious about why you increased from 1/2 tablet to one in each quart? Also, I want to store enough for a year or two; will the tablets degrade while on the shelf? Y’all are the best!
So eye-opening. My daughter is a “clean freak,” and I just know I’ll never convince her to watch the video. I’ll simply have to buy her* a bottle of the Steramine and hope I can persuade her to use it. *and me. Anyway, thank you!
Pam & Jim, this is probably what we need to be using if we have chickens, right… and I wash out their 1 quart chick waters in our sink? I’m sufficiently grossed out by doing so, but I also have been using boiling water to sterilize them so as to not transmit coccidia and other yuck to them and us. I know ammonia is the only thing that kills coccidia… feels like I need to do better to make sure us humans are safe, though. 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Pam, your videos and community are wonderful, I am so glad that you are retiring... I highly recommend it. I am a bit confused about the Steramine you use. I believe it is manufactured by Edwards-Councilor with EPA# 1561-11. When I looked it up on the EPA's "List N for COVID-19 Disinfectants", it was not there. I know how good you are at researching data on these things, so what am I missing? Thanks for all you do!
You might have to get me a couple bottles of that for grandkids especially my grandson bring everything in from outside lay it on the counter on my floors on the carpet I think four bottles would do me thank you God bless
Thank you! I have COPD and most cleaners, especially "sanitizers" (clorox & lysol) are toxic to breathe, so I haven't been using them. I know that the vinegar I have been using, although a great cleaner, is not a sanitizer so learnng about searatine is an eyeopener!
I like how thoroughly you explain things. If I want to totally nuke a surface of germs/viruses I want to know the best thing to do so. However, I'm certain our immune systems have suffered a lot of harm from people disinfecting everything these last nearly three years. I'm glad God equipped us with immune systems and 99.999% isn't necessary. I will be getting some of this stuff though, mainly for the shelf life. And when I want ultra-mega-clean (eaw chicken comes to mind!) I'll be glad for the peace-of-mind.
I order the Steramine. I used it to clean my Bathtub and shower. Sprayed it, let it set a minute and used the baking soda I usually use to scrub it. I was surprised how easy it was to clean. I have to say it was much easier than my usual bathroom scrub snd no harsh chemical smell. Thanks for the video
Thank you for doing this video! I have been using Steramine for about 6 months (because of one of your earlier videos). I had never heard of it before. I'm so happy to have it and I now use it to disinfect my freeze dryer as well. Thank you again for teaching us!
Pam & Jim, One other place to use the Steramine: In the Black and Gray tanks of your RVs. Especially when winterize them for the season. We first deep clean the tanks, then rinse and drain them, then refill them and place Steramine Powder we get from Restaurant Supply into the tank. Let it sit for at least 2-3 hours before draining, and rinsing. To add the antifreeze to the tanks. Just do not get it into your hot water heater.

Hello Connie
Love your curly hair! Makes you look younger.
I learned about Steramine from a friend who was a master food preserver and retired from the schools lunch program.
The other thing about Clorox bleach, some granite manufacturers tell you not to use Clorox. Our granite installers told us never to use bleach.
This would make a good science and mathquiz😊

I've basically stopped using clorox altogether. I heard about the gas escaping too. Thanks for sharing this suggestion. I've been using the brown bottle of concentrate lysol disinfectant, but yours has mine beat in cost-effective, for sure.
Hi Pam and Jim. I researched Steramine tablets online because we don't have this product in Australia, and I was a bit confused because on all the websites selling the products they only say that it kills 99.9% of germs. I'm left scratching my head as to what I need to do to find the product you are using. Thanks for the video. Cheers from Oz! 🦘
I haven't found in here in Europe yet but still looking...
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you
Thanks so much for the information!
Just ordered some!
Your channel is important!
Big hugs!
Very interesting! I'll be getting some streaming. Thank you.
I love your humor 😂. Thank you for sharing all the detailed information. 💜
Very interesting and I love what you’ve done with your hair, very cute.
Thanks, your explanation was wonderful as usual. I’m curious about why you increased from 1/2 tablet to one in each quart? Also, I want to store enough for a year or two; will the tablets degrade while on the shelf? Y’all are the best!
the company does say it's 10 yrs or so they're shelf stable
Already have two bottles and am ordering more
So true with the analogy you used !
So eye-opening. My daughter is a “clean freak,” and I just know I’ll never convince her to watch the video. I’ll simply have to buy her* a bottle of the Steramine and hope I can persuade her to use it. *and me. Anyway, thank you!
Hello Judy
Thank you SO much for this! I have been cleaning meat in my sink and then washing it out with soap. Wow! Is it just me?..
What about for a toilet cleaner and laundry sanitizer? And as others have asked why are you now using double strength?
Great information. Thank you. I got it after watching you last video on this product.
Your looking at the tablets here in Australia around the $40 mark to buy 150 tablets.
Great info tks
You are so smart. Thanks for an example that I understand.
You & Jim are teaching us so much.
Ordered some. Priceless for power outages!!! Esp with all electric house when we instinctively use less water...
Sold! Just ordered!
Pam & Jim, this is probably what we need to be using if we have chickens, right… and I wash out their 1 quart chick waters in our sink? I’m sufficiently grossed out by doing so, but I also have been using boiling water to sterilize them so as to not transmit coccidia and other yuck to them and us. I know ammonia is the only thing that kills coccidia… feels like I need to do better to make sure us humans are safe, though. 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Very good question!
I've shared this, and your channel, with EVERYONE I know. Thank you.
Thank you so much for all of the information that you share.
I am inspired to go clean my kitchen!
Tiny: Go for it! Jim
Hello lovely couple. I would like to know if I can use the Steramine in the washing machine?
Good question!
❣ MUST WATCH! Best video on TH-cam!
Thank you for sharing 💐💙🙏🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Pam, your videos and community are wonderful, I am so glad that you are retiring... I highly recommend it. I am a bit confused about the Steramine you use. I believe it is manufactured by Edwards-Councilor with EPA# 1561-11. When I looked it up on the EPA's "List N for COVID-19 Disinfectants", it was not there. I know how good you are at researching data on these things, so what am I missing? Thanks for all you do!
Capt: You are correct. EPA has not verified that it kills COVID-19. Bur does kill HIV-1 when used as directed for sanitizing. Jim
Thank you for sharing! I’m going to get my husband to watch!
You might have to get me a couple bottles of that for grandkids especially my grandson bring everything in from outside lay it on the counter on my floors on the carpet I think four bottles would do me thank you God bless
Love your hair cut! Wish I could be braver about cutting my hair short
Yes, Pam's hair works for her. Jim
Just good ol 'common sense. Thanks Rose...as usual!
Thank you! I have COPD and most cleaners, especially "sanitizers" (clorox & lysol) are toxic to breathe, so I haven't been using them. I know that the vinegar I have been using, although a great cleaner, is not a sanitizer so learnng about searatine is an eyeopener!
I like how thoroughly you explain things. If I want to totally nuke a surface of germs/viruses I want to know the best thing to do so. However, I'm certain our immune systems have suffered a lot of harm from people disinfecting everything these last nearly three years. I'm glad God equipped us with immune systems and 99.999% isn't necessary. I will be getting some of this stuff though, mainly for the shelf life. And when I want ultra-mega-clean (eaw chicken comes to mind!) I'll be glad for the peace-of-mind.
Thanks for sharing!
Hi there! When I go to the link for Amazon this is the page I got:
I can't attach it here. 😫
Thank you for this great information. I have Steramine after watching the other video on it. :)
Hi from Ireland Rose. Love your channel.
I just bought 2 bottles of the stair main after listening you're listening to your talk and it was $4.88 each at Sam's club
Sorry Forgot to prove freed I was talking about STERAMINE
Would it work for sanitizing laundry...like sheets and bedding in a sick room?
Thank you for being such a trusted guide for so many of us!
I wonder the same.
Use EOs
Tea tree or Thieves (or Eden’s Garden must cheaper version Fighting Five)
Great information! Thanks.
Great instructional teaching! I feel much better about transitioning to this product which is already in my cleaning arsenal.
This is why you are the teacher. Love watching you. ❣😁
I order the Steramine. I used it to clean my Bathtub and shower. Sprayed it, let it set a minute and used the baking soda I usually use to scrub it. I was surprised how easy it was to clean. I have to say it was much easier than my usual bathroom scrub snd no harsh chemical smell. Thanks for the video
Thanks to you this is on my shopping list
You’re welcome 😊
🥰💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓👍...THANK YOU!!!...GOOGLE ALSO SAID IT IS SAFE FOR USE AROUND PETS!!!🥰👍
Thank you!
I’ve been buying Microban. It’s a fairly new item from P&G.
I ordered 2 bottles of 150 tabs each from Amazon today at $9.50 per bottle (.06 each).
Just ordered from Sam's !
You guys are funny. Thanks for the videos.
Thank you for doing this video! I have been using Steramine for about 6 months (because of one of your earlier videos). I had never heard of it before. I'm so happy to have it and I now use it to disinfect my freeze dryer as well. Thank you again for teaching us!
Pam & Jim, One other place to use the Steramine: In the Black and Gray tanks of your RVs. Especially when winterize them for the season. We first deep clean the tanks, then rinse and drain them, then refill them and place Steramine Powder we get from Restaurant Supply into the tank. Let it sit for at least 2-3 hours before draining, and rinsing. To add the antifreeze to the tanks. Just do not get it into your hot water heater.
Love how you explain everything ❤
Love this, never knew about Steramine before this. Moving to new house and can't wait to get it really clean.
