JIK - A Missionary's Best Friend

I know our scriptures should be our best friend. But here in West Africa, we depend on JIK (pronounced Jick) to kill all the bacteria that might make us sick. This is how it works. We put 3 capfuls of JIK into a sink of filtered water. We then soak all our produce, plastic or glass bottles, and canned goods in the sink. After they have soaked for about 5 minutes, we then rinse them in filtered water. We also wipe down all plastic bags or boxes of food. JIK gets added to the bucket when mopping the floor. What is this magical stuff? It is plain old bleach, like Clorox. It's hard to get into the habit of JIK-ing everything that we bring home, but we want to stay healthy. So far, so good!
