No problem Ryan. Iodophor is a pretty popular sanitizer, and has been around for a long time. Instead of not fearing the foam, like with StarSan, don't fear the stain (on plastics...it'll leave a little bit of a yellowish-brown discoloration).

Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't Iodophor need to be rinsed?

Nope, like starsan, in the proper dillution, it's a no-rinse sanitizer. But it does have a higher contact time...1-2 minutes vs the 30 seconds for starsan.

Bleach is another option. If interested:
