Okay, so I got interested in this and decided to Google disinfect, sanitize and sterilize 'cuz I didn't actually know the difference. While doing this I came across a PDF from the University of Waterloo. I didn't read the whole thing, it's 18 pages but I looked up alcohol and bleach. So according to this, alcohol is not so good for surfaces after all, not bad exactly, but not as effective as I thought. The bleach section (hypochlorites) was interesting too. It loses effectiveness after 30 days (not one) and organic material inactivates it. (Blood, feces, etc)

Oh, and it says about Lysol (Phenolic Disinfectants): "The use of phenolics in nurseries is questioned because of toxicity to infants."

So in case anyone is interested.
