Cleaning iPad for C Diff

I’ve read the suggested guidelines for cleaning the iPad, however, these methods will not clean for c diff. Only a bleach and water solution will destroy the spores. Is it possible to use a wipe containing a 10:1 water bleach ratio on the iPad screen safely?

CDC recommends 9:1 ratio.

Apple’s official site has this to say:

Is it OK to use a disinfectant on my Apple product? 

Using a 70 percent isopropyl alcohol wipe, 75 percent ethyl alcohol wipe, or Clorox Disinfecting Wipes, you may gently wipe the hard, nonporous surfaces of your Apple product, such as the display, keyboard, or other exterior surfaces. Don't use products containing bleach or hydrogen peroxide. Avoid getting moisture in any opening, and don't submerge your Apple product in any cleaning agents. Don't use on fabric or leather surfaces.
