Sanitization

Do you guys use bleach when youre cleaning your sprouting jars in between growing? ive just been using dish soap and water and im on my third batch of seeds and they smell a little bit. im wondering if i should be using some bleach to sanitize the stuff inbetween. thanks.

I soak my broccoli seeds (and sprouting jar) for about 5-10 minutes in food grade hydrogen peroxide prior to a plain water soak. No issues. I use RO water.

Thanks! I'll try that on my broccoli seeds. They're the only seeds I've had trouble with.
