Will surface sanitiser e.g. dettol kill h pylori on surfaces? or would i need to use bleach/chlorine? thanks?

Yes. Dettol and similar antiseptics kill bacteria on surfaces. H. Pylori is a bacteria. It will be killed by surface antiseptics. You do not need to use bleach or chlorine, which is toxic and will damage skin and some surfaces. I would add that Dettol is not considered safe for daily, chronic use on skin.
