I use OneStep or Iodophor. I fear the foam.

I love using bleach and ammonia! It smells great and the fumes give me a gnarly buzz! (not really, its very toxic I was joking!) I used a mild anti-Microbial hand soap, my kit us brand new so I just wanted to be safe. I have definitely gotten some good tips reading this thread. I usually go out of my way to sanitize the surfaces I will be working around with lysol, before cooking. We will see how the first batch comes out, hopefully my OCD will work out for the good this time!

For some reason I can't find the quote, but someone mentioned in this thread leaving a bleach solution in their primary overnight to give it a good solid cleaning. Is this alright with a plastic fermenting bucket? Wont be overly corrosive?

I just heard that OneStep was forced by the FDA to change their labels because it is in fact NOT a cleaner and sanitiser but merely only a cleaner.

So I went ahead and bought some OneStep and StarSan just to be safe....
