I don't know whether disinfectant would reliably kill mites, particularly if it's a pet-safe disinfectant because those are specifically designed to not kill animals! I would wash all the plastic things in hot, soapy water, scrubbing them well to get any mites off. Since they're non-porous, that should be enough but you could apply some disinfectant afterwards if you wanted.
