what do you use to clean your tubs?

Hey I've been using wipe out to clean my tubs but I'm almost out and don't feel like spending the $8 for a 10oz bottle. I was wondering what people have been using to clean their tubs. Like 1 part bleach to 10 parts water? maybe vinegar? idk. But let me know especially if its something easy that you find around the house thanks guys...

Dawn Dish liquid..

Yup, antibacterial "liquid" hand soap.

F10 sc, a little bottle goes a very loooooooong way.:gj:

Made this thread yesterday. Heres what people said:

The smallest size makes fifty spray bottles of cleaner. Ridiculously cheap, and very effective. That site is run by Pro Exotics, btw.

I'm still using up the last of the Virosan I got from Pro Exotics about a year ago, once I'm out of that I'll be switching to F10

Has anyone considered a handheld steam cleaner?

Germs can build up immunities to disinfectants but nothing except prions can survive above-boiling temps, plus, you can reach into every single crack and crevice with steam and there's no chance of any harmful residues, ever.

It's pretty much the same [basic] principle as hospital sterilization autoclaves.

It would save on hauling tanks around to sinks for washing/rinsing, too.

I use a diluted vinegar solution with just a few drops of dawn dish liquid. Shake it up in a spray bottle, and voila!

I use a bleach solution. I always have some around the house so it's the most convenient for me.

I actually use a steam cleaner. It take a bit of time to get the temps high enough to be effective you need to run over the area a few times to be sure. I actually use it in combination with F10scxd (cleaner) and use the F10sc (disinfectant) as a final step.

Scrub with a brush and f10scxd, then steam, followed by f10sc.

Is the F10 safe for people who have septic tanks? I can't use certain stuff cuz we put the bacteria in the septic tank and if I put an antibacteria in there it prolly won't be good

Dawn antibacterial dish liquid here too. Lately, the new Thai Dragonfruit scent. :D

I use bleach water at a 32:1 water to bleach ratio and it works great.

Interesting question about the f10 septic system. I don't use much myself so i would not expect a problem but A I am guessing and B I use maybe one litre a month give or take. I don't believe that by the time it is flushed down to the tank it would be very dilute and it become ineffective when in contact with solid organics. I don't think it would be an issue unless you used tons of it.

Diluted solution of Chlorohexidine. I bought a gallon of it two years ago from a veterinary supply company and I still have half of it left. Same as Virosan but cheaper.
