    We use F10 when we clean tubs. Also, sometimes we will also use diluted bleach mix. Hope this helps

    Me:

    -Put snakes into bags.
    -Dump out all the coconut husk (I wear a mask when I do this, it can be dusty)
    -Clean the tubs using Lysol wipes
    -let dry
    -then I spray each tub with a F10sc solution (approx 8ml:1L of water)
    -Let the F10 sit for 15 minutes
    -Dry
    -While I am doing this I also spray the rack with the same F10SC solution and let it sit for 15 minutes. Then I use a swiffer type of mop to dry the rack shelves top and bottom as best as I can. Then I let it dry (doesn't take long in the hot room).
    -Put new husk in
    -Put snakes back in

    I spot clean daily, and do a proper clean (as above) once a month

    Does anyone know why none of the F10 products can be shipped to california?

    Empty substrate, scrub with hot water and dawn in the yard, spray in my disinfectant, let it sit ten minutes, wipe it out, dry the tub completely, add back in substrate. While letting the disinfectant sit, I scrub down hides and water bowls with dawn but do not disinfect them (if I have time, I throw the water bowls in the dishwasher and run it), dry hides and water bowls, add a small amount of fresh, clean water to the bowl, add snake, hides, and water bowl to the tub, stick the tub back in the rack, and I'm done. I do this about once a month, though water bowls get new water every few days and scrubbed down once a week.

    I use simple green diluted 26 to 1.
    dump the paper with presents.
    initial rinse then spray.
    Clean out water bowls and fill.
    Finally, scrub tubs, rinse, rinse, rinse, towel dry and back in the rack.

    Hope it helps. :)
