Default Alternative to Bleach Water

We just had our Accreditation inspection. Our inspector told us that Medicare says alcohol is not good enough to clean equipment with but to use a bleach-water mix. She gave us a few alternatives but we cannot find them. Does anyone have any suggestions on what they are using?

Metacide-1. It's what we've used for years.

We use Steri Fab for all material suffaces (mattresses, Wheelchair seats etc..) which has a trace element in it that shows up with a special light. We use Bleach for any "hard" surfaces and we use vinagar solution for a few items (the wand for BilliTX's)
