Soap&H2O UsuallyBest: All cells are fat membranes separating water inside cells from water outside cells. Soaps/detergents emulsify fat molecules, thus also destroy cells, including bacterial cells. Thus clean with small amounts of liquid soap added to lukewarm water combined with gentle yet thorough scrubbing. This remains the best in most cases. Do not be deluded by lots of marketing of additional products to buy.
