    From experience... do it outside. Trust me on this. Then rinse it well multiple times and allow to air dry for a day before bringing it indoors.

    And for sure, add ammonia to MY list of disinfectants...instead of bleach, since it's effective on crypto & either one is dreadful to work with & need good ventilation.
    I wasn't aware of that, thank you bcr229.
