Hydrogen Peroxide was developed during WW1 as a wound dressing to stop gang green I'm told, so seems it would be an effective anti bacterial agent.
Common household bleach gets most kitchen germs. I mix a nice stiff solution in a spray bottle and spray and wipe after cutting chicken or meats. Have not died yet from Ebola or some other viral nasty. I do the same thing with vinegar and spray vegetables before I wash them and use them. It's an increasingly nasty world out there, good luck.
