How to avoid diseases/fungus moving from plant to plant ?

[hardland]

I just had to toss out a tom plant that was not doing well. Had a disease or fungus. I use bamboo as a cage to support my tom plants and was wondering how to clean the bamboo before I use it again after pulling it off the sick plant. I use a 10% bleach solution to clean my pots etc, is this good enough? I read somewhere about giving the wood supports a quick burn, I assume that means a quick burst from a torch flame? Thanks.

I remember reading on here somewhere(cant find it now), that a 10% clorox/bleach to 90% water solution is good to clean pots and cage stuff etc. Anyone confirm?

The 10% bleach solution is often used. [url=https://aces.nmsu.edu/ces/yard/2007/092207.html]"Clean old flower pots before reusing."[/url]

UCSanDiego has a procedure they are expecting lab workers to follow for low or medium risk biohazards: [url=https://blink.ucsd.edu/safety/research-lab/biosafety/chart.html]"10% bleach/water made fresh daily with bleach having an EPA registration number (e.g., Chlorox) for 30 minutes."[/url]

Seems like that should be good enuf. I just did a google search with "10% bleach sterilize site:edu" as the search terms.
