There are some really amazing detergents out there. My go-to for cleaning anything I don't have specific information about is Tergajet. It's gentle, extremely powerful, low-foaming (so machine compatible), oxidizing, bleach compatible, and contains a protein degradation enzyme potent enough to disrupt prions: https://technotes.alconox.com/detergents/tergazyme/do-enzyme...

The downside to this magic stuff is that it's fairly expensive ($45 for 4 pounds). So, not for wanton use. But well worth it to solve tough problems or when time is more important than money.

oxidizing and bleach compatible is an unusual pairing is it not? There are a bunch of chemicals you can't mix with bleach because you create chemical weapon precursors if you do. Even the precursors can send you to the ER.

I don't think it is. Isn't bleach itself an oxidizing agent?
