One problem with bleach and other household cleaners is that rodents can
be very sensitive to some of the chemicals they contain. Chlorine is a
good example where small amounts can hang around for weeks and cause
irritation.
Unless there is a real risk of passing on illness very hot water is
normally good enough.
