Cat Carrier Second-hand Dis-infection? Did I Do It Right?

[nilbog]

Hi! We just got a carrier second hand. They're hard to find in our small Japanese town. I scrubbed it with non-scented dish soap and warm water, rinsed it, and let it dry.
Then I used a 1:32 bleach water mixture and soaked each part of the carrier thoroughly in it and let it dry. Then I rinsed 15 minutes later with water, allowed to dry a bit, then carefully toweled off any more drops of water. Now the carrier is sitting locked in my guest room with a fan.
My biggest question is when can the carrier be used safely?

With bleach as the disinfectant, as soon as it's dry, you should be good to go.

Thanks so much! We were able to go to the vet today with it. (:
