    Proper cleaning procedures...AP T8 cage

    I will usually spray down the cage with a household cleaner, and then spray/rinse with water. I sometimes will start with a water/bleach mix if its really gross. But I don't understand the insistence on using a disinfectant like cyclohexidine or whatnot. Do I need to add a step or two?

    Re: Proper cleaning procedures...AP T8 cage

    I use f10sc and f10scxd, it kills various bacteria and is simply spray let sit for 10-20 and then wipe off, no need to rinse a bunch like you would have to with household cleaners. I usually do mist some water before I wipe dry the f10scxd. I do use dawn when I deep clean and then rinse and follow with f10scxd then last f10sc.

    Is F10 better than chlorahexidine? If so how?

    Can you use it to spot clean?

    What are these f10 cleaners and where can I find them? I want to make sure I'm cleaning g properly. Everyone I have asked has said spot clean as needed and tear down once every two months.

    I do the exact same thing. When a deep clean is need I use dawn as well. Seems to work well with me.
