Do you need to clean out the litter box with bleach and such before using liners for the first time?

We never used litter box liners before and we would like to start using them for easier cleanup, do we have to wash out the litter boxes before using the liners??
as a long time former cat breeder (over 40 years) yes it is ok to bleach clean litter boxes. I do not use liners in mine but each time they are cleaned with bleach. Bleach kills parasites that can cause girardia etc. Vets will also tell you this is recommended to help prevent such parasites.

Carrier bag 5p levy needs rethink say businesses
01.09.11
Cardinal retailers and pharmacists have called for a rethink about the carrier bag raid in Wales, a month before it is introduced.
Firms faces penalties of up to £5,000 if they give away unattached use bags for free as they will be breaking the law.
Businesses have also called for a "non-muscular touch" approach to how the 5p levy on shoppers is enforced.
The Welsh Ministry said there would be a three-month "bedding in" epoch for shoppers and retailers.
On 1 October, Wales will become the first of the UK countries to draw in compulsory charge for single-use carrier bags.
Community Rather Wales, which represents 708 pharmacies, says there are gaps in the plans.
Chief governmental Russell Goodway said: "Local pharmacies will have to start introducing new arrangements asking patients for additional wealth based on rules that are far from clear and, in some cases, still not published."
Preventing Litter Box Problems « PetsinLex: Local Events, Articles ...

Keeping your cat's litter box up to his standards is very important. The following suggestions should keep your cat from "thinking outside the box."
Location, location, location
Most people tend to place the litter box in an out-of-the-way spot to minimize odor and prevent cat litter from being tracked throughout the house. But, if the litter box ends up in the basement next to an appliance or on a cold cement floor,your cat may be less than pleased.
So you may have to compromise.
Keep the litter box in a spot that gives your cat some privacy yet is also conveniently located. If the box is too hard to get to, especially for a kitten or an elderly cat, he just may not use it. Avoid placing litter boxes next to noisy or heat-radiating appliances, like the furnace or the washing machine. The noise can make a cat nervous, while the warmth of a dryer or furnace can magnify the litter box smell, which could make him stay away from it. Put the box far away from his food and water bowls. Cats don't like that smell too near their food and may not use the box. Place at least one litter box on each level of your house. That way your cat has options if access to his primary box is blocked (the basement door is closed or your dinner party has him holed up in the bedroom.) If you have more than one cat, provide litter boxes in several locations so that one cat can't ambush another cat using the litter box. If you keep the litter box in a closet or a bathroom, be sure the door is wedged open from both sides to prevent your cat from being trapped inside or locked out. Depending on the location, you might consider cutting a hole in a closet door and adding a pet door. Pick of the litter
Research has shown that most cats prefer fine-grained litters, presumably because they have a softer feel. The new scoopable (clumping) litters usually have finer grains than the typical clay litter and are very popular because they really keep down the odor. But high-quality, dust-free clay litters are fairly small-grained and may be perfectly acceptable to your cat.
