Disinfection Soln: 1 part household bleach to 9 parts water makes a 10% bleach solution that is great to clean contaminated items such as your lead apron. Make sure to wear appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, mask with face shield, gown if needed) when washing your apron to prevent contamination of your person with material on the apron. Hope this helps. Best of luck. Dr R

Chlorine?: Would check with the manufacturer. They can advise correctly.Chlorine is being used to control Ebola but uncertain if it will adversely affect the lead apron.
