So I got my first Brett.. nasty skin like film on the top and very off
smell. I dumped the batch and cleaned with Oxyclean. Now I have a medium
strength bleach/water now.. is that enough to clear the glass carboy of
future infection?

Unless the carboy has scratches inside you can always clean glass.
If you used concentrations as recommended on the bleach bottle you
most likely have killed everything.
Now you need to be concerned with your environment and your tools.
Good luck,
