    It will say on the bottle, but it is typically sold as a 2% solution, Which is recommended to be diluted at a ratio of one once per gallon of water. Which means a gallon bottle goes a long way. It is also safe to use as a topical disinfectant, so you can treat any wounds with it or bath your animals directly in the solution if necessary.

    Ive been meaning to give to give the F10SC a trial, but I got a great deal on 2 gallons of chlorhexadine a while back and it is lasting me forever.

    I use soap and water, then spray with a chlorhexadine solution. The chlorhex. is cheap when you buy it in the gallon form. Reptilebasics sells a pump to go on the gallon bottle that pumps the correct amount to mix the solution. I mix up some in a 32 oz spray bottle each week and use it to spray the tubs, hides, and bowls after cleaning (I rinse the water bowls once more after spraying). I like that chlorhex is safer than bleach, yet kills the bacteria, etc.
