I spoke with the dude at my local HBS.
I was in search of Iodophor, but he confessed he didn't often stock it and wanted to.
He suggested using sodium bicarbonate, when I told him I was through with bleach.
His argument was that sodium bicarbonate's active cleanser was oxygen. So, where bleach would leave chlorine behind in my gear, sodium bicarbonate, aka bi-carb soda, leaves behind oxygen. Consequently, oxygen when mixed in with the brew would not have a bad effect.
I was unable to find any reference here, but what do you folks, think?
Only one way to find out, I guess... <_<
