I use a Verilux UV-C wand. It's the real deal, not a black light sold as a
sanitizer. I also have a water purifier that makes a combination of
hydrogen peroxide and hypochlorous acid. Put a dose in a liter of water,
let it sit for 30 minutes, and it's purified of all but cryptosporidium...
But leave it 4 hours and that's dead, too.

But put a few doses in a liter of water and don't let it sit, and it's a
very good surface disinfectant that won't hurt anything that water won't
hurt. It's not bleach, it's the same chlorine compound your white blood
cells generate to kill pathogens, and is used in municipal water treatment
systems. Cheap disinfectant, made to order.

You can get a spray bottle that supposedly does the same just for making
disinfectant solution, but the cheap ones are from China and will take a
while to arrive.
