Andrew,
I use B-Brite for cleaning (which is probably the same, but I don't
know) then I rinse with water, then I sulfite with Sodium
Metabisulfite. _no rinsing after that. Never had a problem. Then
again, I never had a problem before using this routine, either. A lot
depends on how long you expect you wine to last after you make it. IMO
if you're going to drink it within 8 months anyway, you'll probably be
ok w/o the SMS, but there are risks involved, and they'll change with
the alcohol content and pH level of the wine.
In short, sulfite, sulfite, sulfite.
