I would have thought so, but apparantly not. I usually just ran it under water for a little while just before putting it away in the freezer. I guess either I wasn't thourough enough or it doesn't rinse of very well.
Again I cannot prove this as it's just a theory. also the store didn't want to tell me about the cleaner/disenfectant other than it was a food safe cleaner. I suspect it something either similar or exactally like
Clorox® Anywhere® Hard Surface daily sanitizing spray.
"Gentle enough to use around kids and food*
Kills 99.9% of bacteria: E. coli, Salmonella, Staphylococcus and Streptococcus.*
Leaves no harmful chemical residue"
And yes the exact eel that died was the POTM one as well as it's HDE neighbor in another tank. Devistating to say the least.
