Re: Most time-efficient method/system for cleaning Sterilite tubs?
The way I always did was by keeping one extra clean tub in each rack. Take snake out of its own tub set aside, grab clean tub and put substrate in with fresh water bowl, clean slot in rack, put snake and tub back in. Clean the dirty tub and move on to next snake. I also had double water bowls than I needed. When done all dirty bowls go in the dishwasher. For cleaning tubs and rack I used multiple buckets one with soap and water, one with bleach, one with straight water. Wash rinse sanitize.

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 (doesnt 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
I guess I should have pointed out that I just started useing the F10SC as a once a month deep clean and just ordered some the the F10scxd to do a weekly clean.

F10scxd is great, you'll like it!

I have 12 snakes and 15 tubs. I switch out 3 for deep cleaning every week so each tub gets it once a month and you only have to clean thoroughly 3 each week and are not in a real hurry to get them back in since you have alternates.

Boy were you right! That stuff is awesome. And it really gets the tubs really clean. I like the fact that it says it kills mold and mildew, which if you've ever had one with aspen go moldy on you you know what a nigh are that can be.
