And more water with your bleach solution. I just use water. If I am really worried, I use soap and water.

My procedure is the following:

  1. hose down tool
  2. dry
  3. wipe down with oil (spent motor oil)
  4. wash rags in wash with soap
Initially, you can use paper towels if you are worried that the oil will get you. I was absolutely scared of urushiol oil until years of working with it and cleaning with just water presure convinced me that I can dilute it enough that I won't get a rash.

What do others do?
