I'm a bit of a Germaphobe but also chemical sensetive so even though cavicide or Opticide-3® both a Ethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether, Isopropanol works well it can generate an asthma attack (their MSDS requires gloves & respirator, & venting). Somethning new a little expensive but you can even use it in pumice pan is steriplex sd Steriplex SD | General Information | TYSS Biosolutions | Sanitizing & Disinfecting Solution Specialists

it is military grade (anthrax) and yet still food service safe. You can dip the model or spray on. No chemical smell (maybe a little like vinegar),no itchy hands, residual effect with out effecting acrylic processing, or model duplication.
I also sometimes use Citrus II, pleasant scent can have hand contact respirator not needed.

Whatever you choose make sure it is Sterilant/Sporicide, Tuberculocide, Bactericide, if it kills these your safe from most anything, if it can kill a new one Clostridium difficile even better!. Tuberculosis & Clostridium difficile are scary one, and hard to kill, and can live on hard surfaces for months.
Thanks AJEL! I am little concerned with the Silver and whether it leaves a layer in metal in case of contamination of
oven when we stain/glaze. Also, did you notice any corrosion of SS wrought wire clasps from the hydrogen peroxide.
It is handy to have it just to have it around in the event of a mass casualty situation, and better still, the DECON/
Ultra just in the event of a bioterrorism incident!
