Sterilizing equipment and buckets

[Mmcghee102485]

Best way you guys are sterilizing buckets? I had some inverts I was acclimating in a few buckets. There was some water from the lfs in there but I did not put into DT. Just want to know best practice for cleaning/sterilizing them. Thanks

Bleach water for 10min, rinse well, fill back up with freshwater, add a good dose of dechlorinator, let sit for 20min, dump, rinse, done!

Best way to sterilize tools or some equipment is bleach for ten minutes followed by a ten minute bath in a sodium thiosulfate solution to neutralize. But you can wash it and rinse well or use vinegar and rinse/dry.
