PP might be overkill. But it's cheap, and cold water will only rinse off
the
good sized bugs. It certainly isn't going to eliminate microscopic
organisms.

A quick soak in PP or Bleach and/or a mild disinfectant, coupled with a cold
water rinse will
DEFINITELY remove even microscopic organisms. I have recently been dabbling
in home tissue culture (cloning of plants), and this is the method of
sterilisation I have been using for the cultures. I have varying degrees of
success I'll admit, but its working nonetheless (A nice clean Lab would be
nice).
