Hamster Central - View Single Post - Need help with cleaning a hamster bin after it passes

So I recently had a hamster that passed away. I was going to clean it myself but then my dad did it for me. He took out all the bedding and wiped it down then he made a light bleach solution and put all of the inner cage items in it. I found out a while later and took them out myself and rinsed them and let them air dry. So I was wondering if the items like the wheel and plastic hides and plastic bin are still safe for a new hamster? It doesn't smell like chemicals or anything. I also let them soak in plain water too to try to remove the bleachiness. advice is appreciated.
