I never liked the idea of bleach I can hardly stand the smell of bleach, and it doesn’t take much for it to start bothering me. So I don’t use it. I found that most people use bleach for there cleaning needs. I have been using Nolvasan for the last year and so far so good.

Hot soapy water to clean
Nolvasan/Virosan to disinfect

There's a difference between cleaning and disinfecting.
