When you ordered green aplle before, you can use the msds sheet and look it up from there.

Kind of like creating BBQ sauce. Know the base and go from there.

IF you are in a Pinch for a quick and dirty cover up of the smell of bleach, here is what you can do today.  Go look for some Pine Oil, as pure as possible. There are several cleaners that contain Pine Oil, if you can't find it pure. Look for whatever Pine Oil cleaner has the highest Pine Oil concentration. I found one at some Dollar Store once that was 20 percent Pine Oil !!!!!!!!!
Now, Pine Oil is not water soluble, so we must make it so! We do this with RUBBING ALCOHOL and a surfactant, preferrable Apple Butter (Myristamine) or Ammonyx LO (Lauramine Oxide) , but in a pinch, any surfactant like dish or liquid laundry soap will work, although it will eat your chlorine. You want to make a 5 gallon bucket of this for a 225 gallon tankI had at the time. I used 8 bottles of the pine oil cleaner, 8 16 oz bottles of rubbing alcohol, and 8 big bottles of Yellow Ajax dish soap. I mixed all the chit together real good, and dumped it into the 300 gallon tank. That chit was smokin, and it smelled like a bathroom mopped with Pine Sol. Honestly, it cleaned like a mo fo too, and hid the smell, somewhat. The Primary smell was that of Pine Sol, with a hint of bleach! I told the customers "we have to use a LITTLE bleach to kill the chit"
Green Appple is better,  Pine Oil always leaves an oil slick in your tank On the next fill up of the tank, we poured rubbing alcohol on the oil slick, added more Ajax, added water, then filled with chlorine. Again,, it masked the smell somewhat. Once I was out of that subdivision, we went back to normal. I flushed the oil out of my Tank, and went back to our normal mix.
