Salmonella: There is an excellent Typhoid Information Sheet from the government of Western Australia Department of Health which covers a 2 step process for disinfection. See: https://www.healthywa.wa.gov.au/~/media/Files/HealthyWA/Original/Factsheets/Typhoid * Use detergent and hot water for contaminated surface. Follow with a bleach based product (follow manufacturer's dilution directions).
