Uh - I'm not expert, but there are some bacteria that can only
survive in liquid water.  That would be my guess.

I wash my lens cases in hot tap water, then clean with Miraflow,
then with saline.  I thought that the alcohol in Miraflow is effective
against acanthamoeba.  I also remember the instructions for a
B&L lens case said to either rinse in an MPS, saline, or hot tap
water - then let air dry.
