How do you clean your bins?

[takagari]

I have been cleaning my rack bins with hot water and some animal safe soap. but i dont like this method. takes for ever.

I am wondering how people do it? I have been looking for something I can dilute heavily with water and use a spray bottle. three or four sprays into the tub and wipe it out and i know its safe/clean/disinfected?

When i worked in a resteraunt as a teen we had something for water for dishes. there must be something I can find to spray clean a bin .. er.. 30 bins

I wash the bins with dishwashing soap, then spray with chlorhexadine solution and stack them up and let them sit a while before rinsing.

Chlorhexidine mix for daily cleaning and a bleach/water mix soak for a really good cleaning for me

i use Chlorhexidine which i got from www.reptilebasics.com i use the amount that it says on the back of the bottle but it seems kinda weak to me. How much Chlorhexidine to a 32oz bottle of water do you use?

i get mine from reptilebasics too its the 2%. Bottle says 1oz per gallon of water which is about 2 tablespoons. i put about 1/2 capful for a 25oz spray bottle, comes out faintly blue.

I use both of these products. My weekly cleaning and water bowls are with chlorhexidine but once a month or so and all quarantines get the Simple Green Pro 3 which zaps virtually everything; viruses, bacteria and molds. I also do the rat bins with the simple green, real good stuff.

Both of these products are concentrates so you add lots of water and they go a long way
