after my corns eats i rinse and disinfect the deli cup with a household grease cleaner that is also an antibacterial cleaner it is exactly like 409 except different brand i rinse thoroughly every time and my corn seems to have no problem but could there be any long term affects?
 
Wot's a deli cup, mate? :sidestep: (Sorry Elle.)

How about a nice, mild anti-bacterial soap? I guess your method is okay, if you're willing to rinse 1,000 times.
 
I just put plain old rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle, spray down the surface, then wipe it up. As it evaporates it sucks out the insides of bacteria and viruses and so kills them. However they won't be dead until all the alcohol has evaporated. It has a strong smell at first but after it is dry/evaporates(which is fast) it doesnt smell so there are no "fumes" in the deli cup or in the sterlite boxes. I have always used this with almost any animal cage and I have never had any problems.

Alcohol and alcohol-based sanitizers work well, but that's not exactly how it works to kill bacteria. Also, you really don't have to let the alcohol evaporate because the bacteria [that alcohol is effective against] is killed instantly. Alcohol may kill some viruses, yet is very limited to the viruses it is able to kill. Alcohol is very effective in killing salmonella, so it is a good choice. I, however, prefer chlorhexidine to sanitize cages/containers.
