People tend to hate bleach bc of the smell. However, it is a really good option. It will take 30 min of wet contact time vs 10 min wet contact time for something like Rescue. That is another reason people don't like it. However, I say, use what you can that works. It's better than the alternative.

Bleach sets off my asthma so it's not used in my practice

The problem with bleach is avoiding its noxious effects, and safe handling. I think that's why you're meeting resistance.

Mafy ccr I am so sorry, I have been looking at this post for days and scratching my head and wondering why nobody has answered. Then last night, our clinical editor Alasdair Hotston Moore tried to reply and could not. I investigated and found there has been a fault all along, so nobody could reply. I have now fixed that fault and will now post Alasdair's reply for him, and hopefully others will also now come and chip in.

So sorry about that. But should all now work properly.
