    deep cleaning:
    I swap out 5 tubs every wednesday (6, 41qt, 5 tub racks and 1 hatchling rack 32 tub, 6qt rack). 10% bleach water, spray, scrub, rinse with hot water, dry, spray with lysol, let sit 24hrs, wash with dawn and water, dry and start over.
    Spot cleaning:
    Spray with vinegar based multisurface cleaner, wipe clean, dry with paper towel, wipe spot with rubbing alchol let air dry for 10min while I give it a quick wipe down with a wet warm paper towel and just enjoy holding my pet.
    I'm a little ocd with cleaning my cages. or atleast thats what i've been told.

    I use a water/vinegar spray for my general cleaning (got into the habit since I've had so many different critters, big and small, including fish, so I was paranoid about using chemicals lol). I've got clorhexidine for actual disinfecting.

    Have you seen the Palmolive Clear/no residue stuff yet?

    Lowes sells it and it absolutely leaves nothing bad behind.

    I use it when washing the snake tubs in the shower and for my dogs' food and water bowls.

    A handheld steam cleaner with a microfiber end really gets tanks squeaky clean.

    No I have not. I have used Dawn for about a decade. I see no reason to change what's not broken :)
