Soap and water will SANITIZE most anything. The word "sanitize" has a
specific meaning. It is almost synonymous with "clean." Do buy into the
advertising hype. Basically you have in ascending order:
clean
sanitize
disinfect
sterilize
Cleaning removes gross debris and dilutes organisms by physical means such
as rinsing. Sanitizing will kill some organisms (many harmless), but it
doesn't kill many pathogens. Disinfecting will kill many pathogens, but not
all. There are different levels of disinfecting, the best being "hospital
grade." This level will kill TB spores and HIV, but not hepatitis B.
Sterilizing kill everything.
