Guess the test is to fill a bucket with clean potable water, soak your disposal system in it for an hour and ask yourself whether the water is safe to drink. If the answer is no, your equipment is not clean.

The Sewer Solution is certainly not totally sanitary but it is a great deal cleaner than the slinky - no matter how much rinsing you do.
