If you are worried about getting bleach on your self, wear old cloths designated just for the cleaning process. The disposal of the bleach is easy, just neutralize it with a some vinegar, let it sit over night and dump it out. I have been doing this for years and I have found no problems with my grass where I dump the solution on my lawn.
I also tried the oven once and my wife said never again. It is very handy, but I did not like moving the pots into the house and then back outside. It is easier for me to stack pots for cleaning in one area and to then move them to the outside into my cleaning tubs and then move them back into the greenhouse.
Everyone has their own system, take what you can from each and apply it to your conditions. That is typically how we grow our plants and we can do the same with how we keep our plants clean and virus free.
