In home fermenting and brewing, can you use store-brand povidone iodine (like Betadine, CVS, Walgreens), without rinsing, to clean equipment and avoid off flavors / contaminates?

Lots of home brewers use a brand of iodine called BTF Iodophor. It contains "other ingredients" that apparently otherwise don't affect the result of home food preparation. I can't find a list of these additives.

Store brand iodine also contains "other ingredients," listed as:

- CVS and Betadine: Citric Acid, Disodium Phosphate, Glycerin, Nonoxynol-9, Sodium Hydroxide, Purified Water
- Walgreens: C12-13 Pareth-9, Citric Acid, Disodium Phosphate, Glycerin, Sodium Hydroxide, Water

Can these others be used as a no-rinse disenfectant of bottles, utensils, etc. with proper dilution in water
