Thanks Max, I'm a little afraid of bleach for obvious reason. I just don't think I can rinse it well enough, It is king of the pathogen microbial killers but with the porosity of the subject material, I'm going to pass on it. I just picked up huge bottles of alcohol, white vinegar, and ammonia; Plus a big box of baking soda. I'll let you know how it works.
