Ian,
I tend to use an Iodophor Solution to do my sanitizing. I use 1/4 teaspoon in 2 litres of water. This is then rinsed around my equipment and left for 2 minutes. I then pour the solution into a different container in case I need to use it again. If I don't I pour it away.
The great thing about this stuff is that you don't have to rinse (although I tend to to get rid of the foam).
DaaB uses a similar stuff (can't remember the name) but you may want to look into this.
Personally I would NEVER use bleach to clean my equipment.
Since discovering Iodophor I wouldn't use anything else!!!
