    Clorahexadine per direction. Goes a long way. When it does contact urine it does not make lung stripping vapor. I also use Provent-a-mite ever 3 months or so.

    I use soap and water to clean, then disinfect with Chlorhexidine or Pet Focus.

    Re: what kind of cleaner ?

    i heard rumors saying using bleach is not the safest way to go . i heard A-33 cleaner is the best and safest ?

    also when you clean with bleach mix do you wear gloves or anything ?

    Clorahexadine on everything, everytime, well but the floor.

    Bleach is, however, very good at killing various harmful organisms--better at killing some of them than chlorhex.
    I use Chlorhex with my general collection, and bleach for my quarantine. Just make sure to rinse bleached items very well, until there is no bleach odor remaining.
