Steralizing Cage or Tubs?

What are your favorite products to use to clean your cages, tubs, or racks?

What do you like about it?

I use Chlorhexadine, but that is just because I have been too lazy to order the more stable F10. I will order some when my bottle of chlorhex is out.

x2, my exact situation lol

X3... I clean my tubs with Dawn dishwashing liquid and hot water, then disinfect them after they dry. I do the same with hides. I also wash my water bowls with Dawn, then run them through the dishwasher on scalding, but don't put any soap in the washer.

I use a diluted bleach solution. Then rinse to make sure theres no bleach smell. For bowls/hides i usually wash out with dawn and rinse it out well.
I use the bleach bc i can get it from work for free whenever i need to. And im a big fan of free stuff that works lol

I have a whole system I use, clean out the substrate with a vacuum, wipe out any dust with a wet rag,steam clean, spray with F10sc XD detergent, scrub with a stiff brush, steam clean and rinse out detergent. Then I spray with F10sc and wait the 20 min contact time and wipe it dry. Each enclosure takes me about 30-45 min the rack and all the tubs takes 4.5 hours.

Not steril but close. I usually do all every month or two.

Unflavored Listerine and a steam wand.

I let it dry for about 10 minutes in case there's any smell left over and it seems to work very well and is non-toxic.

I want to order the F10 stuff, though.

F10 here, love it. I order mine from pro exotics...
