Sometimes when I clean a mess out of my BP and BCI enclosures, there is a lingering odor for a little while, even when it appears quite clean. I don't know how much it actually affects the snakes, but I've seen a snake do what I believe was vomiting once, and I dont ever want to put them through that.

I don't want to put some chemical like Febreze in that they may be sensitive to, so is there any kind of substance that can just sort of absorb an odor without releasing anything harmful?

Or else, is it okay for a little odor to linger? I don't know how airborne odors work, so I don't know how much the snakes smell in their hide.
