How long is it advised to soak the items for proper disinfection?
The soak time required by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) is 10 minutes. Soaking the items longer will not provide any greater levels of disinfection but will also not cause harm to the equipment. If natural rubber or PVC materials are soaked longer than 20 minutes undesirable results may occur such as a tacky feeling to the items. This is not harmful in and of itself but is probably something that would be displeasing.
