Should I wipe down my substrate lids..?

As I was so curious I took a peek at the jars to find out this information but kept all jars but one in the box. I spritz a small amount of bleach in the cupboard and on the box afterwards.. should I wipe down the jars lids with isopropyl or spray a few more squirts of bleach as I fear exposing them to the outside slightly or touching the lid with one of my fingers may cause contamination.. They do not have micropore on the holes but they do have a single vermiculite layer.. Please could you let me know?
Thank you

Putting jars in a cabinet is useless. Take them out.

As long as the sun isn't directly beaming on them.
But to answer your question.. Yes, The dresser with indirect lighting from the sun is purrrfect. Just keep your jars off the floor. (Since contaminate's fall down, not up)
Believe it or not...Light is actually beneficial to colonizing Mycelia. esp. if given since "Day 1"
Anyhow, Good Luck!!!

If you have a properly constructed verm barrier, then they're relatively protected from contamination.
It's not like your cabinets are any cleaner than your hands, or the air outside the cabinets. Wiping the jars down or spraying them does nothing.
