"This is not a toilet!" Water dish inquiry.

[EarthlyMaiden]

I've been lucky enough to never have to deal with a snake dumping in their water dish up until this point.

Today, though, the water was brown, and so I immediately cleaned the place and swapped out with an, ehm, not crappy water dish. As for Steve, he's doing fine...eating fine, defecating fine and being his usual alert, semi-dopey self.

So, what do you guys use to disinfect your water dishes? I've already run it under hot water to get it superficially clean, and I've heard that vinegar does a good, non-toxic job of disinfecting snake accessories. If so, we've got plenty of that around because you would not believe how many uses it already has, but I wanted to get a second opinion before I pickled the water dish.
