What steps do you take when you're cleaning your encapsulation supplies? Before and after? Why do you do it that way?

I wash with soap and water before I use them. Wash with soap and water afterward, then soak in bleach-water or spray with bleach-water and rinse. But I'm wondering if I'm using too much/too little bleach? Soak for too long/not long enough?

Thanks in advance!

I wash everything, then soak for five minutes in a 10% bleach solution. For my sink, it is FOUR cups of bleach. It's really a lot and I suggest you measure carefully. After bleaching I wash again with hot, soapy water. I don't wash again before I use them because I store everything inside bins, and I do six or more a month so I use everything pretty often. Hope this helps!
