Question Sterilizing tools

I was wondering what is adequate for sterilizing cutting tools. I understand there are several methods. Blow torch is probably one of the best ones, but sure takes a little set up. If I need to cut something on occasion on one plant only, can I just throw the tools in the dishwasher afterward? Does that kill plant viruses? I have tried small dilution of bleach before and rubbing alcohol. I am not sure if either method is good.
I am wondering what you all do...
