Some stuff I think is instant and other leave for ten min. Some rinse some no rinse like star san.
What are you using and what do the instructions say?

Dan, I've been usin Milton since January this year and never had a problem with it.
Spot on MM, i use the tablets and liquid and its 15 minutes contact time for both and no rinse required.
I was under the impression beer brewers don't like to use bleach based steriliser as you have to be sure you have rinsed it properly so as not to spoil your brew. (i never rinse as i only make wine)

You ave to rinse bleach based cleaners/sterilisers throughly because if you don't it form a compound that gives beer a antiseptic/band aid taste. Same effect as if you don't filter your water/ use as campden tablet
