O never desinfected anything , I use mycorrhizae and other bacterias and go straight for soil. For me it works best way, but I respray surface of soil daily for keeping it moist and easy to brake for new girl. Good humidity and temps are very important at that stage. Don't overwater or dig too deep too ! All the Best !

Hello mate, I will say none of them. That combination of chemicals will be bad for yours seeds. Let the seeds to germinate on wet paper towel or soak in the glass of water. You don't have to put such radical movements but that decision is on you bro 😇

If you wanted to soak your seeds for 3 min in some 3% hydrogen peroxide that's fine, but DO NOT let the roots get exposed to that. Hydrogen peroxide degrades into water and oxygen. The only benefit you get from cleaning seeds is if their maybe any spores on the outside of the shell that are pathogenic. Like WPM, this mini soak will kill the white powdery mildew should it be there. Expose roots to this compound burns them and destroys them. As for your cleaner, I have used it before or a product like it. It is not designed for plants, its meant for hands and surfaces. the active ingredients in that are extracts from thyme and citrus and would not be good for it. Seed roots make symbiotic relationships with the flora of life be it molds, bacteria and fungi in the soil and its how they survive. Putting this on the seed then in the hole would harm that life and maybe hurt the baby tap root as it would stay on the seed. I would not use that. Best of Luck!
