Ok to use these wipes for cleaning tubs?

I got these disinfecting wipes and was wondering if they are ok to use for cleanup? I would wipe the tub down with them then use a clean wet rag to wipe out the tub after using the wipes. Sound ok? Here is a pic of them.

I'd assume the chemicals used to scent and disinfect could potentially harm your reptiles. There are many other proven safe ways to clean. I don't think enough research has been done on disinfectant wipes to give a yes or no answer to that safely.

agreed, also in the long run water an bleach are gonna be a little easier on the wallet

I too would worry about residual chemicals. I would say no to be on the safe side.

If nothing else, I will say I have safely used Windex wipes to clean cages/tubs . . . but that is with a thorough water rinse afterwards, and plenty of time to air-dry before replacing substrate, tank furniture, water bowl, or snake. It does get expensive though, so I'd really recommend the bleach and water. It's what I've gone back to since Windex wipes are pricey.

Whatever scented chemicals may be in the wipes, I doubt they're worse than bleach fumes; they're less powerful to be sure. I'd think as long as you rinse thoroughly (I think more than with a rag) and let it air-dry so you can't smell any of the fumes, it should be okay. I've used various disinfectant wipes before but I haven't used scented ones before.
