Soap and water vs. ISO

When cleaning out contaminated tubs I always hose them off outside then let them dry and wipe the inside of the tub out with 70% iso. I read a lot of people use soap and water. In regards to cleaning out trich is there any reason I should clean them with soap and water instead of hosing them out and wiping with iso when they dry?

Great videos. With the first one I couldn't tell if the alcohol killed anything as the solution seemed to keep swirling around. Bleach and dish soap seemed quite effective though. What's your take on it in regards to my initial question of iso vs soap? I suppose I'd add to that iso vs soap vs bleach..?

My take Is the soap and water did a fine job as long as you can keep everything wet long enough for the membrane to dissolved.
Alcohol and bleach worked good.. Bleach works better when water is added. Same as alcohol. 70% alcohol works better than 92% alcohol.
I always do the soap water on my tubs and right before I add the substrate I spray the tub with 70% alcohol and wipe with paper towels.
Water In all cases seems to aid in dissolving the membrane.

Excellent thanks for tips man. I've been hosing them down then wiping with alcohol 70% just before loading, with no alcohol left behind of course. I may add scrubbing with soap and water to the hosing stage and see if things improve..
