I rinse everything then let it float in diluted vinegar for a bit then dry it in the salad spinner before putting it in fridge or other storage depending on what it is. If I'm out of vinegar I'll use the peracetic acid I have for sanitizing my kegs.

I use vinegar for cleaning it's cheap and cheerful

For the time being. Peroxide also used to be cheap.

Used to be.

I mostly use vinegar for that reason. I had a 20 gal of 70% ish vinegar that I was diluting for a long time but I can't seem to source that any more so I have to get the standard jugs and just use the diluted paa when I run out and don't feel like going to the store.

I have kitchen towels for drying, but it's a pain for large volumes. Does the spinner do a good job?

yeah its pretty great. things that don't get damaged I'll also spin them in it while full of vinegar water or the sanitizer and I dont have to keep buying paper towel or laundering towels. works obviously for salad but anything that fits will get mostly dried even if it has lots of bumps and crevices. I've done everything from leaves to fruits to potatoes and ginger. its basically that theme park ride that spins and you get stuck to the wall but its a grate so liquid goes through and pools under the basket.
