Substrate disinfectant??

[Creekratt]

I'm using foam under my tigers hides. When they dump it gets smeared and pushed down into the foam. This is my 1st use, and I'm using conditioned water to thoroughly rinse until I can find a suitable disinfectant. I know not to use bleach or any other chemical that leaves residue. I've got some CHG but it also leaves some sort of residue as its active on skin for some time after applying. I thinking the safest would be salt water, with a complete and thorough rinse of course. Any body have any better ideas please chime in. Thanx to all in advance, I do look forward to any input.

If, however, the substrate used is a non-particulate or artificial, it must be disposed of and replaced entirely or rotated to allow thorough enough cleaning, disinfection, and drying of the pieces being used.

Hope that article helps. I don't know if foam would count as artifical/non-particulate or not but I'm guessing it might be.
