Yesterday i spent the afternoon removing mould from a wall with hydrogen peroxide and wiping it off with a sponge and cloth using a bucket of water. How do i safely disinfect any mould residue or particles left behind in the bucket?

This bucket - is it of sentimental value, a family heirloom perhaps?
A litre of Jeyes Fluid is currently £5.49 in Lidl.
Occasionally their stocks hang around for too long and they do a BOGOF to get rid of them. I was lucky enough to get two bottles for £4.50 a few years ago, and still haven't finished the first. It's very powerful stuff and a little goes a long way.
Be careful using it around cats though. They're attracted to the smell but it's lethally poisonous to them.
Also, be careful where you use it because it can stain things. If you spray it on masonry paint, for example, you'll ruin it! It even slightly stains bare concrete, but usually that doesn't matter and you don't notice if you wash the whole area in it rather than a patch. Smooth things like a plastic bucket or glass aren't marked. I know someone who once used it on an old enamel bath that had lost its shine and it left it stained for a year afterwards.
Oh, and avoid getting it on your skin, even when diluted. No matter how you wash them afterwards, your skin smells of bitumen for hours! Although perhaps if you're a mad cat lady it'll attract even more of them for you...

Not if it's a family heirloom.
I suspect we'll never know.
