Where are you going? What are the protocols for the area you are traveling to? I'd think there are likely safeguards in place mandated by Health Agencies to address this in rental fleet items. Did you ask them?

Some of the scuba online retailers (e.g. leisurepro) are marketing "sterisol" which they advertise for use in disinfecting mouthpieces of scuba rental gear.

It is a quat, very common disinfectant. Those solutions lose strength in storage, you are better off buying a bottle of Steramine tablets and the test strips. The general suggestion is 200ppm for a dip application and 400ppm for a spray on application. But be warned that quats are lung irritants so you need to either let it dry completely or rinse it thoroughly after the minimum contact time is over.

Every manufacturer now has something to peddle -- whether "Gigasept" from Poseidon, which has been common for its CCR use, and the cleaning of medical equipment; "Sterisol," among others.

Steramine, for example has been around for years, in the scientific and food industries; and, if and when used properly, can be quite effective (typically, at 400 ppm). The problem is just that -- it is seldom used per instructions; the solution is quite short-lived (maybe 24 hours at best); and has often been reused for days on many live-aboards, for various equipment cleaning -- just poured back into carboys . . .
