Bleach?! Like hydrogen peroxide, or something? Jesus... That's old-school... But if it works for you, then it works...

EDIT: You know infinitely more about this than me, but from Wikipedia I see that hydrogen peroxide might be falling out of favour in medical circles...

"Historically, hydrogen peroxide was commonly used for disinfecting wounds, partly because of its low cost and prompt availability compared to other antiseptics. It is now thought to slow healing and lead to scarring because it destroys newly formed skin cells."

Is it still in common use? I see it was developed for triage service during WW1... And it's chlorate-based... I assumed OP was using a peroxide bleach... Harsh.
