Claim 17:
18. A dilute hypohalite sanitizing or disinfecting composition for use in a dispensing system, wherein the dispensing system includes a nozzle for dispensing the aqueous hypohalite sanitizing or disinfecting composition during use, and a tubing for conveying the aqueous hypohalite sanitizing or disinfecting composition from a reservoir to the nozzle, the dilute hypohalite sanitizing or disinfecting composition comprising:
(a) water; and
(b) a hypohalite at a concentration from 150 ppm to 200 ppm;
(c) wherein the hypohalite composition has a pH of no more than 8;
(d) wherein the dilute hypohalite composition exhibits at least a 65% recovery of hypohalite after 24 hours of contact between the hypohalite composition and the associated tubing of the dispensing system wherein the associated tubing has a stiffness from 120 lbf/in to 135 lbf/in and a compression force to closure of from 20 lbf to 30 lbf;
(e) wherein the aqueous hypohalite sanitizing or disinfecting composition maintains a concentration of hypohalite of about 85 ppm to 200 ppm as it is dispensed.
