F10SC safety question

[dkspftw]

Is it safe (for a python) to spray something with F10SC (or F10SCXD) and to just let it dry there? I assumed it had to be rinsed off a surface or item after being used, but then I read some literature on their site that made it sound like you can just let it dry on stuff and it's safe.

I may have misunderstood, so I'm hoping to clarify.

I've only ever used F10SC. I spray and wipe it so the enclosure is dry when the occupant goes back in.

So you don't rinse it off with water after. OK, I thought that was maybe the way to go. Of course if I clean their waterbowls with it I'll make sure it's all rinsed off.

I don't use it on the water bowls. The dirty ones just go in the dishwasher and I replace them with a clean one.

I spray down the tub and hides. Let it set for a few, then wipe dry. Water bowls, I spray, let soak, wipe out, rinse well.

Don't see there being any problems, it is also used to nebulize for RI

This discusses a study done on using F10SC IN the drinking water of chickens:

I'd guess that means it is safe to use to disinfect a water bowl if you rinse the bowl afterwards.

It's actually better not to rinse it off as F10 remains active once it is dry. At the specified dilution F10 is safe around animals even when wet.
