Cleaning the tub using JurassiClean.. eh?

On the bottle, the directions say to spray lightly on the sides of the enclosure and what not, and to let it dry. I've done that, but it really does nothing besides leaving a lime-scented dried up spot on the walls of the enclosure. The second time using it I sprayed, waited a few minutes, then wiped it down. Could I just wash the tub out, wipe it down, spray the JurrassiClean on a paper towel/towel, and just wipe down the tub and wait for it to dry?

Plus I'm talking about both times when I need to completely clean out the enclosure and spray when the snakes defecate.

I use wipe out 2 and I would assume it's a very similar product... when I use it I follow the directions on the bottle and then once it drys I use a spray bottle with tap water and spray down the tank again then wipe it off with a paper towel

Go there the stuff your using is loaded with alchol. Although is drys quickly it also leaves a layer of residue that when it gets wet it can get on your snake causing dry skin and possibly bad sheds. The stuff proexotics sells is safe for every us in your tubs and tanks. With a small collection a gallon could very well last you years although I would check to see if it has a use by date.

Nolvasan, FTW google it.

or follow the link I provided

Most products found in pet stores are not really efficient zoomed's line of JurassiClean and Jurassimites are no different :rolleyes:.

Here is what I would recommend

Chlorhexidine

this

Nolvasan

http://www.valleyvet.com/ct_detail.h...2-00b0d0204ae5

and this

Trifectant

http://www.valleyvet.com/ct_detail.h...4-f48303cb07b4

Three of the very best products Deb!

I use Chlorhexidine and Trifectant.

I didn't like the Nolvasan.

It made me wheeze and cough when using it, it smells good though.

I use Odoban and its been doing fine for me!

where would you be able to find the chlorohexidine and other stuff in stores? do you think somewhere like a feed/tack store might have it?

Being in Texas, you may be able to get it at a feed or farm store since it is used as a disinfectant for horses and cows...

After I clean with Chlorhexidine, I wipe the tub down with Healthy Habitat which acts like a deodorizer...

I live in Missouri and the Tractor Supply chain of stores here sells Nolvasan.

I get my Chlorhexidine from my Vet.

So, I guess I shouldn't use JurassiClean?

I could always wash it out the tub with soap, but that would take too long.

Water and soap will clean however it will not kill bacteria which is why the products above are recommended.

Does Wipe Out work pretty well with killing the bacteria?
