I used to work in the medical field and we
commonly used 10% bleach/water on almost
everything.  Don't remember anything fading from
it, even the vinyl or painted surfaces.

Your results may vary.  No warranties express or
implied.  No purchase necessary.  Limited time
offer.  See HKS for details.  I'd test a small
patch with whatever concentration you  use.  (It
will also free your poptop of HIV, hepatitis B,
and other bloodborne pathogens, or so they told
us.  As an added bonus, your Westy will smell so
institutional!)
