Sanitization (lemmy.antemeridiem.xyz)

I have some questions and concerns

I have a batch contaminated with some VWP sanitizer. How dangerous is this? It's a sanitizer you normally have to rinse and I fucked up and got some in a brew. I don't know exactly how much and one bottle in particular has more than the others.

I am begging to question if it's safer for me to not use sanitizer at all and instead just use dish soap. Maybe I should switch to a different sanitizer? I am not completely convinced of the safety of no rinse sanitizer either and want to find some sources or more information about these things. There is a high chance I will end up making a mistake using these and I don't know what the risk profile is of different sanitizers. How dangerous is not using sanitizer at all?

Star san and chem san are somewhat expensive though I hear they last a while.
